N03.2 — Chronic nephritic syndrome with diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis
N03.2 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for chronic nephritic syndrome with diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Risk adjustment
N03.2 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
N03.2 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.

- A56380Billing and Coding: Rituximab
