M84.58XP — Pathological fracture in neoplastic disease, other specified site, subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
Is M84.58XP billable?
Yes, but M84.58XP is an unspecified code. M84.58XP is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, M84.58XP 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 M84.58XP — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

Which MS-DRGs does M84.58XP group to?
M84.58XP 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, M84.58XP is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from M84
The conditions below are not part of M84.58XP, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M84.58XP and the excluded code may both be reported.
- traumatic fracture of bone-see fracture, by site
Code also — inherited from M84.5
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether M84.58XP is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- underlying neoplasm
How long has M84.58XP existed?
M84.58XP 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.
