Is N00.8 an HCC code?

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
N00.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for acute nephritic syndrome with other morphologic changes. A sudden kidney inflammation with specific structural changes in the filtering units that don't fit into the other defined categories. N00.8 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the genitourinary system (n00-n99), within the section covering glomerular diseases (n00-n08).
N00.8 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.
Use this code only when biopsy findings show morphologic changes not classifiable as N00.0-N00.7.
