M80: Osteoporosis with current pathological fracture

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

M80 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for osteoporosis with current pathological fracture. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below. This code also requires a 7th character before it is complete.

This code requires a 7th character

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category M80:

A
initial encounter for fracture
D
subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
G
subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
K
subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
P
subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
S
sequela

Excludes1: never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • collapsed vertebra NOS (M48.5)
  • pathological fracture NOS (M84.4)
  • wedging of vertebra NOS (M48.5)

Excludes2: not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

  • personal history of (healed) osteoporosis fracture (Z87.310)

Use additional code

Add a secondary code to capture the detail described below.

  • code to identify major osseous defect, if applicable (M89.7-)
