M80.03 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, forearm. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Specific Coding Applicable to Age-related osteopor w current path fracture, forearm

Non-specific codes like M80.03 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for age-related osteopor w current path fracture, forearm:

  • M80.031 for Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, right forearm - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M80.031A for initial encounter for fracture - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M80.031D for subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M80.031G for subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M80.031K for subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M80.031P for subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M80.031S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • M80.032 for Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, left forearm - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M80.032A for initial encounter for fracture - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M80.032D for subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use M80.032G for subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing - BILLABLE CODE

Arm Injuries and Disorders

Of the 206 bones in your body, three of them are in your arm: the humerus, radius, and ulna. Your arms are also made up of muscles, joints, tendons, and other connective tissue. Injuries to any of these parts of the arm can occur during sports, a fall, or an accident.

Types of arm injuries include :

  • Tendinitis and bursitis
  • Sprains
  • Dislocations
  • Fractures (broken bones)
  • Nerve problems
  • Osteoarthritis

You may also have problems or injure specific parts of your arm, such as your hand, wrist, elbow, or shoulder.

Fractures

A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones. Overuse can cause stress fractures, which are very small cracks in the bone.

Symptoms of a fracture are:

  • Intense pain
  • Deformity - the limb looks out of place
  • Swelling, bruising, or tenderness around the injury
  • Numbness and tingling
  • Problems moving a limb

You need to get medical care right away for any fracture. An x-ray can tell if your bone is broken. You may need to wear a cast or splint. Sometimes you need surgery to put in plates, pins or screws to keep the bone in place.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a disease that thins and weakens the bones. Your bones become fragile and fracture (break) easily, especially the bones in the hip, spine, and wrist. In the United States, millions of people either already have osteoporosis or are at high risk due to low bone mass.

Anyone can develop osteoporosis, but it is more common in older women. Risk factors include:

  • Getting older
  • Being small and thin
  • Having a family history of osteoporosis
  • Taking certain medicines
  • Being a white or Asian woman
  • Having low bone density

Osteoporosis is a silent disease. You might not know you have it until you break a bone. A bone mineral density test is the best way to check your bone health.

To keep bones strong, eat a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, exercise, and do not smoke. If needed, medicines can also help. It is also important to try to avoid falling down. Falls are the number one cause of fractures in older adults.
