M90.6 — Osteitis deformans in neoplastic diseases
Is M90.6 billable?
No — M90.6 is a non-billable header code. M90.6 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 24 billable codes beneath M90.6.

Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with M90.6 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- osteitis deformans [Paget's disease of bone] (M88.-)
Code first
The underlying condition below must be sequenced before M90.6. M90.6 describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to M90.6.
- Osteitis deformans in malignant neoplasm of bone
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M86-M90
The conditions below can never be reported together with M90.6 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- postprocedural osteopathies (M96.-)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M90
The conditions below can never be reported together with M90.6 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 13
The conditions below are not part of M90.6, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M90.6 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)

How long has M90.6 existed?
M90.6 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.
