N02.6 — Recurrent and persistent hematuria with dense deposit disease
N02.6 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for recurrent and persistent hematuria with dense deposit disease. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Recurrent and persistent hematuria with C3 glomerulopathy with dense deposit disease
- Recurrent and persistent hematuria with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, type 2
Other codes that can never be billed with N02.6
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at N02.6. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading N02.6 alone.
- N02.ARecurrent and persistent hematuria with C3 glomerulonephritis
Risk adjustment
N02.6 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.
Medicare coverage
N02.6 is named in 3 Medicare coverage policies — 3 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
- A54548Billing and Coding: Eculizumab, and Biosimilars: EPYSQLI®-eculizumab-aagh, and BKEMV™-eculizumab-aeeb
- A55336Billing and Coding: Retroperitoneal Ultrasound
- A57189Billing and Coding: Serum Magnesium
How N02.6 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to N02.6.
- Hematuria›idiopathic›with glomerular lesion›dense deposit disease
- Hematuria›idiopathic›with glomerular lesion›C3›glomerulopathy›with dense deposit disease
