Hi,

My provider is documenting a squamous cell carcinoma in situ of the jaw, do I code this as C44.329 or D04.39 as the SCC and in situ are separate ICD-10 codes?

I found this article, where it sates that if the squamous cell carcinoma is documented it's understood to be the primary site:

Am I only supposed to choose one ICD-10 code or do I bill both?

Thank you
