Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, hand

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 3 more specific codes instead:

M80.041 Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, right hand (also a header)
M80.042 Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, left hand (also a header)
M80.049 Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, unspecified hand (also a header)

This code requires a seventh character. See the rule below.

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
