N30 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for cystitis, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as N30.00, N30.01, N30.10, and N30.11.

Questions About N30Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for cystitis?
N30 is the ICD-10-CM category for cystitis, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.
Is N30 (Cystitis) a billable code?
No. This is a category header that groups the codes for cystitis, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for cystitis need a more specific code from this category, such as N30.00, N30.01, and N30.10.
Can N30 be reported with N41.3?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on N30 lists "prostatocystitis (N41.3)". 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).
