Osteitis deformans in neoplastic diseases

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 10 more specific codes instead:

  • M90.60 Osteitis deformans in neoplastic diseases, unspecified site
  • M90.61 Osteitis deformans in neoplastic diseases, shoulder (also a header)
  • M90.62 Osteitis deformans in neoplastic diseases, upper arm (also a header)
  • M90.63 Osteitis deformans in neoplastic diseases, forearm (also a header)
  • M90.64 Osteitis deformans in neoplastic diseases, hand (also a header)
  • M90.65 Osteitis deformans in neoplastic diseases, thigh (also a header)
  • M90.66 Osteitis deformans in neoplastic diseases, lower leg (also a header)
  • M90.67 Osteitis deformans in neoplastic diseases, ankle and foot (also a header)
  • M90.68 Osteitis deformans in neoplastic diseases, other site
  • M90.69 Osteitis deformans in neoplastic diseases, multiple sites

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.
