2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M80Osteoporosis with current pathological fracture
M80 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as M80.00XA, M80.00XD, M80.00XG, and M80.00XK.

M80.01 for Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, shoulder
M80.02 for Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, humerus
M80.03 for Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, forearm
M80.04 for Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, hand
M80.05 for Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, femur
M80.06 for Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, lower leg
M80.07 for Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, ankle and foot
M80.08 for Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, vertebra(e)
M80.0A for Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, other site
M80.0B for Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, pelvis
M80.8 for Other osteoporosis with current pathological fracture
M80.80 for Other osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, unspecified site
M80.81 for Other osteoporosis with pathological fracture, shoulder
M80.82 for Other osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, humerus

Tabular List NotesGuidance
Coding notes and annotation back-references applicable to this code.
Includes
- osteoporosis with current fragility fracture
Use Additional Code
- code to identify major osseous defect, if applicable M89.7
Type 1 Excludes
Type 2 Excludes
- personal history of healed osteoporosis fracture Z87.310
7th Character Note
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category M80:
7th Character
- A - initial encounter for fracture
- D - subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
- G - subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
- K - subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
- P - subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
- S - sequela
This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
The “use additional code” indicates that a secondary code could be used to further specify the patient’s condition. This note is not mandatory and is only used if enough information is available to assign an additional code.
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.
Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.
