Clinical InformationClinical
Melorheostosis
a form of osteosclerosis extending in a linear track mainly through one of the long bones of the upper and lower limbs.Osteopoikilosis
an asymptomatic, autosomal dominant trait in which pea-sized sclerotic spots, prominent in the metaphyseal area, are accompanied by unique cutaneous lesions. these are yellowish papules or plaques with increased elastin content. (from cecil textbook of medicine, 19th ed, pp1434-35)Acroosteolysis
a condition that is characterized by degeneration of the distal phalanges.Melorheostosis
a very rare bone disorder characterized by thickening of the cortex in a linear pattern. signs and symptoms include joint pain, joint swelling, limb deformity, and changes in the skin covering the bone lesion.Osteopoikilosis
a rare autosomal dominant inherited disorder characterized by the presence of small areas of increased density throughout the bones.
Patient EducationClinical
Bone Density
Your bones are made of living tissue. To keep them strong, your body breaks down old bone and replaces it with new bone. But when more bone is broken down than replaced, you lose bone density, also called bone mass. Bone density is a measure of the amount of calcium and other minerals in bone. Bones containing more minerals are denser.

Questions About M85.80Overview
Is M85.80 (Other specified disorders of bone density and structure) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report other specified disorders of bone density and structure, unspecified site on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
What MS-DRG does M85.80 group to?
When other specified disorders of bone density and structure, unspecified site is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 564, 565, 566, with relative weights from 0.7493 to 1.5436 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
What is the ICD-9 equivalent of M85.80?
Under the General Equivalence Mappings, other specified disorders of bone density and structure, unspecified site converts to ICD-9-CM 733.90 (bone & cartilage dis NOS) and 733.99 (bone & cartilage dis NEC). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.
Footnotes
[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
