M84.334 — Stress fracture, left radius
Is M84.334 billable?
No — M84.334 is a non-billable header code. M84.334 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 6 billable codes beneath M84.334.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M84.3
The conditions below can never be reported together with M84.334 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 M84.3
Report an additional code alongside M84.334 to fully describe the condition. M84.334 is sequenced first.
- external cause code(s) to identify the cause of the stress fracture
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 13
The conditions below are not part of M84.334, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M84.334 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- arthropathic psoriasis (L40.5-)
- 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 M84
The conditions below are not part of M84.334, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M84.334 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- traumatic fracture of bone-see fracture, by site
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from M84.3
The conditions below are not part of M84.334, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M84.334 and the excluded code may both be reported.

How long has M84.334 existed?
M84.334 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
