ICD-10 codes for Kidney Stones

The primary ICD-10-CM codes for kidney stones are N20, N20.0, N20.1. Across all sub-categories, 12 codes are grouped under kidney stones, with 10 marked as billable (specific enough for a medical claim).

There are 12 ICD-10-CM codes related to kidney stones. Of these, 10 are billable specific codes and 2 are non-billable header categories that organize the specific codes underneath them. Header codes cannot be reported on a claim by themselves.

Yes. 10 of the 12 ICD-10-CM codes for kidney stones are billable. Common examples include N20.0 (Calculus of kidney); N20.1 (Calculus of ureter); N20.2 (Calculus of kidney with calculus of ureter). Code to the highest level of specificity supported by the documentation.

The most commonly used billable codes for kidney stones include: N20.0 (Calculus of kidney); N20.1 (Calculus of ureter); N20.2 (Calculus of kidney with calculus of ureter). The correct code depends on the documented clinical presentation, including any complications, episode (acute / chronic), and laterality where applicable. Always code to the highest level of specificity supported by the clinical documentation.

No, N20 (Calculus of kidney and ureter) is a non-billable header code. You need to use a more specific child code for billing purposes.

The ICD-10 codes for kidney stones map to at least 25 SNOMED CT concepts. Examples of SNOMED CT concept IDs in this group include 1056501000112102, 197794008, 236708007, 236709004, 236710009. SNOMED CT is a clinical terminology used in electronic health records; AutoICD's coding API returns SNOMED CT IDs alongside each ICD-10 code via the include_snomed=true flag.

The ICD-10 codes for kidney stones are linked to 15 UMLS CUIs in the National Library of Medicine's Metathesaurus. Sample CUIs include C0156257, C0268722, C0333014, C0392525, C0041952. UMLS CUIs unify the same concept across SNOMED CT, ICD-10, ICD-11, RxNorm, MeSH, and dozens of other source vocabularies.

Kidney Stones may also be referred to as: kidney stones, renal calculi, nephrolithiasis, ureteral stone, urolithiasis. The same ICD-10-CM codes apply regardless of which term appears in the clinical documentation. Synonyms are surfaced by AutoICD's NER pass and mapped to the canonical ICD-10 family above.
