Tabular list notes for M80.0AXS

The tabular list has no notes on M80.0AXS itself; the notes below apply from its parent headings.

Inherited from M80 (Osteoporosis with current pathological fracture)

Includes
  • osteoporosis with current fragility fracture
Excludes1 (never coded together)
  • collapsed vertebra NOS (M48.5)
  • pathological fracture NOS (M84.4)
  • wedging of vertebra NOS (M48.5)
Excludes2 (not part of this condition, may be coded together)
  • personal history of (healed) osteoporosis fracture (Z87.310)
Use additional code
  • code to identify major osseous defect, if applicable (M89.7-)

Inherited from M80.0 (Age-related osteoporosis with current pathological fracture)

Inclusion terms
  • Involutional osteoporosis with current pathological fracture
  • Osteoporosis NOS with current pathological fracture
  • Postmenopausal osteoporosis with current pathological fracture
  • Senile osteoporosis with current pathological fracture

The 7th character S means “sequela”, as defined at M80. The same injury coded for a later encounter uses a different 7th character, so check each encounter.

MS-DRG grouping when M80.0AXS is the principal diagnosis

MS-DRG v44 groups for M80.0AXS as principal diagnosis
MDCMS-DRGs
08 MDC 08: Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue559560561

The final group also depends on procedures, secondary diagnoses and discharge status; the MS-DRG lookup for M80.0AXS shows the full grouping logic.

CC/MCC status and inpatient edits

M80.0AXS is neither a CC nor an MCC under MS-DRG v44, so as a secondary diagnosis it does not raise the MS-DRG severity level. Check M80.0AXS against a principal diagnosis.

  • Present on admission: exempt from POA indicator reporting (FY2027 exempt list).
  • Medicare Code Editor: age conflict: adult diagnosis (age 15 to 124).

CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment

M80.0AXS does not map to a payment HCC in the PY2027 CMS-HCC V28 model, so on its own it does not change a Medicare Advantage risk score.

Evaluate software for diagnosis coding review

If your team codes diagnoses at volume, review how QuickCode supports qualified coder review of documentation, specificity queries and the billing handoff. Confirm the code sets, settings and reviewer responsibilities during evaluation; a code reference is not a coding determination for a patient.
