Osteoporosis is a chronic condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle, making them more prone to fractures.
In medical billing and coding, accurate use of ICD-10 codes for osteoporosis is crucial for proper documentation, reimbursement, and patient care tracking.
This guide covers Osteoporosis ICD-10 codes with and without fracture, including special cases such as postmenopausal, steroid-induced, and unspecified types.
Osteoporosis is a bone disease where decreased bone density increases the risk of fractures. It is often referred to as a “silent disease” because patients may not notice symptoms until a fracture occurs.
Common risk factors include:
Lifestyle factors (smoking, poor nutrition, low physical activity
Osteoporosis ICD-10 codes fall primarily under the M80–M82 category. The codes differ based on whether a pathological fracture is present.
