Chapter GraphsTopic TablesOsteoporosis is a bone-thinning condition which causes loss of bone mass, making bones more vulnerable to fractures. Diverse medical specialists such as endocrinologists, orthopedists, and rheumatologists are involved in treating osteoporosis. Rheumatology medical coding involves reporting the condition using the right diagnosis and procedure codes. To assign the right codes, coders must know what type of osteoporosis the patient has been diagnosed with. Two categories of osteoporosis are primary and secondary. While the primary osteoporosis is age-related, secondary condition is caused by any underlying conditions. Primary osteoporosis can be further divided into “primary type I (postmenopausal osteoporosis)” and “primary type II (senile)” osteoporosis. Causes of secondary osteoporosis can be endocrine disorders, malnutrition issues, marrow, renal or collagen disorders. Common risk factors for osteoporosis can be osteomalacia, aging, vitamin D deficiency, or hypocalcemia. Diagnosis tests recommended to identify the right type of osteoporosis include DEXA scan, vertebral fracture assessment, and blood tests. Treatment for osteoporosis may include orthopedic and medical treatment. Surgeries such as kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty may be recommended for patients experiencing painful vertebral compression fracture from this condition. Medications like bisphosphonates are used to treat osteoporosis and reduce the risk of fracture. Other treatments may include estrogen/hormone replacement therapy, and thyroid and parathyroid hormone therapy. What Are the ICD 10 Codes for Osteoporosis? Osteoporosis can occur with or without pathological fracture. Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture includes Involutional osteoporosis, Postmenopausal osteoporosis, Senile osteoporosis, and Osteoporosis NOS. Other osteoporosis with current pathological fracture includes Drug induced osteoporosis, Idiopathic osteoporosis, Osteoporosis of disuse, Post-oophorectomy osteoporosis, Postsurgical malabsorption osteoporosis, and Posttraumatic osteoporosis. Osteoporosis with current pathological fracture Age-related osteoporosis or other osteoporosis, with current pathological fracture can be reported usingM80 series of codes. Codes are selected based on the anatomical site of the fracture, not the location of the osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis without current pathological fracture For osteoporosis without pathological fracture, codes from the M81 series can be used.
While the sixth digit indicates laterality (right shoulder, left shoulder, unspecified shoulder), the seventh digit indicates the episode of care-
Osteoporosis fracture documentation involves definition of the episode of care (initial, routine, or delayed healing), specification of location and laterality (left or right), and precise classification for pathological fracture (Senile osteoporosis, posttraumatic osteoporosis). Providers treating this condition can consider the services provided by experienced medical billing and coding companies to submit their claims with up-to-date codes. Submitting accurate claims can prevent claim denials and ensure optimal reimbursement. What is the ICD 10 code for osteoporosis without current pathological fracture?0 for Age-related osteoporosis without current pathological fracture is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Osteopathies and chondropathies .
What is the ICD 10 code for other osteoporosis?ICD-10 code M81. 8 for Other osteoporosis without current pathological fracture is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Osteopathies and chondropathies .
What is the 2022 ICD 10 code for osteoporosis?Basics of Osteoporosis ICD 10 Coding
The billable ICD 10 code for osteoporosis, unspecifed is M81. 0, it is mainly used in coding DEXA scan or bone density scan procedure codes. Osteopenia and Osteoporosis are the main diagnosis used for coding DEXA scan exams.
What is the diagnosis code M85 89?ICD-10 code: M85. 89 Other specified disorders of bone density and structure Site unspecified.
