What This Code Means

N80.A61 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for endometriosis of right ureter, unspecified depth. Endometrial tissue (the lining of the uterus) is growing in the right ureter, which is the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder. The depth of the tissue growth is not specified. N80.A61 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the genitourinary system (n00-n99), within the section covering noninflammatory disorders of female genital tract (n80-n98).

N80.A61 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.

This code is specific to the right ureter; verify laterality in documentation before coding.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for N80.A61 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
