Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to M84: its own notes plus those printed at Chapter 13. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Excludes2

Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

From Chapter 13 (M00-M99) Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue applies to 6,687 codes
  • arthropathic psoriasis (L40.5-)

Bone Diseases

Your bones help you move, give you shape and support your body. They are living tissues that rebuild constantly throughout your life. During childhood and your teens, your body adds new bone faster than it removes old bone. After about age 20, you can lose bone faster than you make bone.

Questions About M84Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for disorder of continuity of bone?

M84 is the ICD-10-CM category for disorder of continuity of bone, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is M84 (Disorder of continuity of bone) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for disorder of continuity of bone, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for disorder of continuity of bone need a more specific code from this category, such as M84.30XA, M84.30XD, and M84.30XG.
