About coding Nephroma

The ICD-10-CM code for Nephroma is C64 (Malignant neoplasm of kidney, except renal pelvis). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on C64.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: C64.1 (pelvis), C64.2 (pelvis) and C64.9 (pelvis).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
