Drug Reactions

Most of the time, medicines make our lives better. They reduce aches and pains, fight infections, and control problems such as high blood pressure or diabetes. But medicines can also cause unwanted reactions, such as drug interactions, side effects, and allergies.

Questions About N14.11Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for contrast-induced nephropathy?

The ICD-10-CM code for contrast-induced nephropathy is N14.11 (sometimes written as N1411). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Is N14.11 a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report contrast-induced nephropathy on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What MS-DRG does N14.11 group to?

When contrast-induced nephropathy is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 699, 698, 700, with relative weights from 0.6740 to 1.6400 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Can N14.11 be reported with N28.85?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at block N10-N16, which applies to N14.11, lists "pyeloureteritis cystica (N28.85)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).

Does N14.11 need an additional code?

When the condition applies, yes. The Use Additional Code note at N14, which applies to N14.11, reads: code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5). The additional code is reported after N14.11.

Does N14.11 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?

Not for Medicare Advantage: N14.11 maps to no category in the CMS-HCC V28 model. It still risk-adjusts in the ESRD (V21) category 141 (Nephritis).
