N30Cystitis

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

N30 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for cystitis. 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.

Use additional code

Add a secondary code to capture the detail described below.

  • code to identify infectious agent (B95-B97)

Other codes that can never be billed with N30

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at N30. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading N30 alone.

  • N02Recurrent and persistent hematuria
  • N30.0Acute cystitis
  • N32.3Diverticulum of bladder
  • N39.0Urinary tract infection, site not specified
  • R31Hematuria

Risk adjustment

N30 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 N30

7 child codes. Green means billable.
