N01
N01 — Rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
N01 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
- nephritic syndrome NOS (N05.-)
Includes
Conditions this code covers.
- rapidly progressive glomerular disease
- rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis
- rapidly progressive nephritis
Other codes that can never be billed with N01
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at N01. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading N01 alone.
Risk adjustment
N01 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.
Code to one of these instead N01

Questions about N01
- Is N01 a billable ICD-10-CM code?
- No. N01 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.
- Where does N01 sit in the tabular list?
- Diseases of the genitourinary system (N00-N99), in the block Glomerular diseases (N00-N08).
- What cannot be coded together with N01?
- N01 carries an Excludes1 note, which means the conditions it lists can never be coded together with it on the same encounter.
