Osteoporosis ICD 10 Coding Guide For Coders

ICD-10-CM code for osteoporosis is M80.0. This code falls under the category of “Disorders of bone density and structure” and should be used to indicate a diagnosis of osteoporosis.

In addition, the following codes may also be used to specify the severity and location of the condition:

  • M80.00 Unspecified osteoporosis, unspecified site
  • M80.08 Other osteoporosis, unspecified site
  • M80.10 Idiopathic osteoporosis, unspecified site
  • M80.18 Other osteoporosis, unspecified site

The codes above refer to the site of the osteoporosis, which may be the spine, hip, or other locations. The use of the specific site code is important to identify the severity and location of the condition.

It is also important to note that codes for any associated fractures should also be reported along with the osteoporosis code, as the condition may have contributed to the fracture. These codes may include S22.0XXA for fractures of the thoracic spine, S32.0XXA for fractures of the lumbar spine, or S72.0XXA for fractures of the femur.

As always, it is important to review the official ICD-10-CM guidelines for accurate and appropriate coding.
