Specific Coding for Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classifiedOverview

Non-specific codes like N07 require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:

  • Use N07.0 for Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with minor glomerular abnormality

  • Use N07.1 for Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with focal and segmental glomerular lesions

  • Use N07.2 for Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis

  • Use N07.3 for Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis

  • Use N07.4 for Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis

  • Use N07.5 for Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis

  • Use N07.6 for Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with dense deposit disease

  • Use N07.7 for Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis

  • Use N07.8 for Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with other morphologic lesions

  • Use N07.9 for Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with unspecified morphologic lesions

  • Use N07.A for Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with C3 glomerulonephritis

  • Use N07.B for Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with APOL1-mediated kidney disease [AMKD]

Genetic Disorders

Genetic disorders are health conditions caused by changes (also called mutations or variants) in your genes. Genes are parts of DNA found in your cells that carry instructions for how your body grows, develops, and functions. Many genes tell your body how to make proteins, which are needed for your body to work properly.

  • What are the different ways a genetic disorder can be inherited?
  • How are genetic disorders diagnosed?

Questions About N07Overview

Is N07 (Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified need a more specific code from this category, such as N07.0, N07.1, and N07.2.
