Excludes1 inherited from the categories above N00.B

These are not written on N00.B, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing N00.B with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on N00 Acute nephritic syndrome

  • acute tubulo-interstitial nephritis (N10)
  • nephritic syndrome NOS (N05.-)

Risk adjustment

N00.B does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code history

N00.B has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.

Code to one of these instead N00.B

Where does N00.B sit in the tabular list?
Diseases of the genitourinary system (N00-N99), in the block Glomerular diseases (N00-N08).
What cannot be coded together with N00.B?
