M83Adult osteomalacia

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

M83 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for adult osteomalacia. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 — never code together

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

  • infantile and juvenile osteomalacia (E55.0)
  • renal osteodystrophy (N25.0)
  • rickets (active) (E55.0)
  • rickets (active) sequelae (E64.3)
  • vitamin D-resistant osteomalacia (E83.31)
  • vitamin D-resistant rickets (active) (E83.31)

Other codes that can never be billed with M83

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at M83. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading M83 alone.

  • E55Vitamin D deficiency
  • E21Hyperparathyroidism and other disorders of parathyroid gland
  • E83.3Disorders of phosphorus metabolism and phosphatases
  • K91.2Postsurgical malabsorption, not elsewhere classified

Risk adjustment

M83 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead M83

8 child codes. Green means billable.
