N07 — Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified
Is N07 billable?
No — N07 is a non-billable header code. N07 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 12 billable codes beneath N07.
Billable codes under this header

- N07.1Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with focal and segmental glomerular lesions
- N07.2Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis
- N07.3Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis
- N07.4Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis

- N07.6Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with dense deposit disease
- N07.7Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis
- N07.8Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with other morphologic lesions
- N07.9Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with unspecified morphologic lesions
- N07.AHereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with C3 glomerulonephritis
- N07.BHereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified with APOL1-mediated kidney disease [AMKD]

Excludes2 — not included here
The conditions below are not part of N07, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, N07 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from N00-N08
The conditions below can never be reported together with N07 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- hypertensive chronic kidney disease (I12.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 14
The conditions below are not part of N07, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, N07 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
- certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
- congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
- endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
- injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
- neoplasms (C00-D49)
- symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)
Code also — inherited from N00-N08
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether N07 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- any associated kidney failure (N17-N19).

How long has N07 existed?
N07 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
