ICD Code N28.8 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the seven child codes of N28.8 that describes the diagnosis 'other specified disorders of kidney and ureter' in more detail.

The ICD code N288 is used to code Nephroptosis

Nephroptosis (also called floating kidney or renal ptosis) is an abnormal condition in which the kidney drops down into the pelvis when the patient stands up. It is more common in women than in men. It has been one of the most controversial conditions among doctors in both its diagnosis and its treatments.
