Nephrotic syndrome with diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

Billable FY2016 to FY2023, and a category header from FY2024.

Submit one of these 4 more specific codes instead:

N04.20 Nephrotic syndrome with diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis, unspecified
N04.21 Primary membranous nephropathy with nephrotic syndrome
N04.22 Secondary membranous nephropathy with nephrotic syndrome
N04.29 Other nephrotic syndrome with diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2007 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

FY2007 Added to the draft code set draft Nephrotic syndrome with diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis
FY2024 Stopped being billable
