D32 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for benign neoplasm of meninges, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as D32.0, D32.1, and D32.9.

Specific Coding for Benign neoplasm of meningesOverview

Non-specific codes like D32 require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:

  • Use D32.0 for Benign neoplasm of cerebral meninges

  • Use D32.1 for Benign neoplasm of spinal meninges

  • Use D32.9 for Benign neoplasm of meninges, unspecified

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to D32: its own notes plus those printed at Chapter 2. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Notes

General instructions on how these codes are used.

From Chapter 2 (C00-D49) Neoplasms applies to 1,730 codes
  • Functional activity
  • All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm.
  • Morphology [Histology]
  • Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, etc. The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes.
  • Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries
  • A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere. For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous, such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned.
  • Malignant neoplasm of ectopic tissue
  • Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, unspecified (C25.9).

    benign neoplasm of meninges (D32.-)

Clinical InformationClinical

  • Grade I Meningioma

    a slow-growing, low-grade meningioma with favorable prognosis. this category includes angiomatous meningiomas, fibrous meningiomas, lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningiomas, meningothelial meningiomas, metaplastic meningiomas, microcystic meningiomas, psammomatous meningiomas, secretory meningiomas, and transitional meningiomas. it may recur in a small minority of cases following resection.

Patient EducationClinical

Benign Tumors

Tumors are abnormal growths in your body. They can be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren't cancer. Malignant ones are. Benign tumors grow only in one place. They cannot spread or invade other parts of your body. Even so, they can be dangerous if they press on vital organs, such as your brain.

Questions About D32Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for benign neoplasm of meninges?

D32 is the ICD-10-CM category for benign neoplasm of meninges, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is D32 (Benign neoplasm of meninges) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for benign neoplasm of meninges, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for benign neoplasm of meninges need a more specific code from this category, such as D32.0, D32.1, and D32.9.
