Which MS-DRGs does M80.842P group to?
M80.842P sits in MDC 08 and helps define the logic of 3 MS-DRGs (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.
- 564Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses with MCCmedical
- 565Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses with CCmedical
- 566Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses without CC/MCCmedical
As a secondary diagnosis, M80.842P is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M80
The conditions below can never be reported together with M80.842P on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Use additional code — inherited from M80
Report an additional code alongside M80.842P to fully describe the condition. M80.842P is sequenced first.
- code to identify major osseous defect, if applicable (M89.7-)
Use additional code — inherited from M80.8
Report an additional code alongside M80.842P to fully describe the condition. M80.842P is sequenced first.
- code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 13

- certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
- certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
- compartment syndrome (traumatic) (T79.A-)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
- congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
- endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
- injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
- neoplasms (C00-D49)
- symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from M80
The conditions below are not part of M80.842P, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M80.842P and the excluded code may both be reported.
- personal history of (healed) osteoporosis fracture (Z87.310)
How long has M80.842P existed?
M80.842P has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
