M80.8 — Other osteoporosis with current pathological fracture

Not billable

Is M80.8 billable?

No — M80.8 is a non-billable header code. M80.8 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 60 billable codes beneath M80.8.
