About M80

M80 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for osteoporosis with current pathological fracture. It belongs to block M80-M85 (disorders of bone density and structure) and chapter 13 (diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: M80.0 (fracture) and M80.8 (fracture).

Don't report M80 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: collapsed vertebra NOS (M48.5), pathological fracture NOS (M84.4) and wedging of vertebra NOS (M48.5).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of M80, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: personal history of (healed) osteoporosis fracture (Z87.310).

Use an additional code to identify major osseous defect, if applicable (M89.7-).

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