Acute nephritic syndrome with other morphologic changes

Is N00.8 an HCC code?

No. N00.8 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to any HCC category in V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC.

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.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for N00.8 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Use this code only when biopsy findings show morphologic changes not classifiable as N00.0-N00.7
  • Document the specific morphologic findings in the medical record for clarity
