Osteonecrosis

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 6 more specific codes instead:

  • M87.0 Idiopathic aseptic necrosis of bone (also a header)
  • M87.1 Osteonecrosis due to drugs (also a header)
  • M87.2 Osteonecrosis due to previous trauma (also a header)
  • M87.3 Other secondary osteonecrosis (also a header)
  • M87.8 Other osteonecrosis (also a header)
  • M87.9 Osteonecrosis, unspecified

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.

  1. FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Osteonecrosis
