M80.049G — Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, unspecified hand, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
Is M80.049G billable?
Yes, but M80.049G is an unspecified code. M80.049G is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, M80.049G is an unspecified or catch-all code. Payers apply additional scrutiny to unspecified codes and many deny them when the medical record supports a more specific option, so check the documentation before selecting M80.049G — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M80
The conditions below can never be reported together with M80.049G on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
