N02.6 vs N02.A
N02.6 (Recurrent and persistent hematuria with dense deposit disease) compared with N02.A (Recurrent and persistent hematuria with C3 glomerulonephritis), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.
Can these codes be reported together?
No — do not report together. N02.A carries an Excludes1 note covering N02.6: “Recurrent and persistent hematuria (with C3 glomerulopathy) with dense deposit disease (N02.6)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
