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.

Questions About M80.822GOverview
Is M80.822G a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report other osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, left humerus, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What does the 7th character G in M80.822G mean?
The final character G reports a subsequent encounter where the other osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, left humerus is healing more slowly than expected. In this category the CMS Tabular List defines G as "subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing".
What MS-DRG does M80.822G group to?
When other osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, left humerus, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 559, 561, 560, with relative weights from 0.8258 to 1.8087 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is M80.822G exempt from POA reporting?
Yes. CMS lists this code among those exempt from present on admission reporting, so hospitals do not assign a POA indicator for other osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, left humerus, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing on inpatient claims. The code appears in the Disorders of bone density and structure (M80-M85) range of the CMS exempt list.
Can M80.822G be reported with M48.5?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at M80, which applies to M80.822G, lists "collapsed vertebra NOS (M48.5)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
