ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code Z87.310 "Includes" further defines, or give examples of, the content of the code or category. A pathologic bone fracture due to osteoporosis. It is generally caused by a fall from a standing height or lower and usually involves the spine, hip, or wrist.
They concluded that “Denosumab (Prolia) [in 60 mg doses] could be an effective dose for Japanese postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, as was shown in the Caucasian population.” Prolia treatment increases bone density but there is no evidence that it influences bone quality.
Women who are treated for breast cancer via adjuvant AI (aromatase inhibitors) therapy often take Prolia for bone preservation reasons. When the AI therapy terminates, Prolia is supposed to be discontinued. Some physicians discontinue Prolia when the patient achieves the target T-Score that places them outside the osteoporosis category.
Long term (current) use of bisphosphonates Z79. 83 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z79. 83 became effective on October 1, 2021.
† Diagnosis code Z79. 818 may be used for males receiving androgen deprivation therapy (eg, leuprolide acetate or goserelin acetate) for prostate cancer.
No, there isn't a set number of years you can take Prolia. In studies, people have safely taken Prolia for up to 8 years. If the drug is working to improve your condition, your doctor may have you take it long term.
HCPCS code J0897 is defined as 1 mg. Providers should report 1 unit for each 1 mg dose provided during the billing period. Drugs that have the ingredients romosozumab-aqqg are billed using HCPCS code J3111, if all existing guidelines for coverage under the home health benefit are met.

0 – Age-Related Osteoporosis without Current Pathological Fracture. ICD-Code M81. 0 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of Age-Related Osteoporosis without Current Pathological Fracture.
Even though the maximum follow-up time for published clinical data on the long-term effects of denosumab treatment is 10 years, there is no absolute limit on treatment duration [31]. In some patients at continued high risk for fracture, treatment with denosumab should be continued indefinitely.
For those who meet the criteria prescribed above, Medicare Part B covers Prolia. If you don't meet the above criteria, your Medicare Part D plan may cover the drug. GoodRx reports that 98% of surveyed Medicare prescription plans cover Prolia. With Medicare Part D coverage, you're likely to pay coinsurance or a copay.
Prolia is an injection that can be self-administered once every six months for the treatment of osteoporosis. It has been associated with an increased risk of fractures on discontinuation.
The majority of commercial and Medicare plans cover Prolia®. The list price for Prolia® is $1,434.14* ,† per treatment every six months.
Denosumab injection (Prolia) is used treat osteoporosis that is caused by corticosteroid medications in men and women who will be taking corticosteroid medications for at least 6 months and have an increased risk for fractures or who cannot take or did not respond to other medication treatments for osteoporosis.
Prolia belongs to a class of drugs called Antineoplastics, Monoclonal Antibody; Monoclonal Antibodies, Endocrine.

Effect on Osteoclast Cells. First, Prolia and bisphosphonates differ in how they affect osteoclast cells. Osteoclast cells are the cleaners of old bone. The newly formed osteoclast cells join mature osteoclasts to perform an important role: the breakdown of the old bone.
According to Dr. Adachi, in the rare cases when they occur, Prolia side effects last up to three months . They do not persist for more than five months (the length of time Prolia is in your body). In general, the vast majority of Prolia side effects are resolved within three months.
Atypical femoral fractures occur when Prolia use is greater than 5 years.
Prolia is in the body for approximately five months, whereas bisphosphonates can linger in the body for several years.
Kent McLeod, pharmacist and owner of NutriChem Pharmacy, defines Prolia as an immunoglobulin monoclonal antibody — a glycoprotein that interferes with the protein RANK ligand (RANKL) and prevents the formation, maturation and survival rates of osteoclasts. RANKL is the molecule blocked by denosumab.
When they bind to these cells, this leads to the death of the osteoclasts cells and thus stops bone breakdown. Bisphosphonates, on the other hand, reduce osteoclast activity. This, in turn, leads to a slowdown in the turnover of bone and removal of old bone. Differences Between Bisphosphonates and Prolia.
Prolia need not be the treatment of choice if your diagnosis places you in a low or moderate fracture risk category. The right combination of exercise and good nutrition can help you to stay (or move you into) the low risk fracture risk category.
Prolia works by targeting a molecule that the bone-removing cells need in order to work. Important Safety Information.
Administer Denosumab (Prolia™) via subcutaneous injection in the upper arm, the upper. thigh, or the abdomen. Denosumab (Prolia™) is supplied in a single-use prefilled syringe with a safety guard or in a single-use vial.
Limitations: • Denosumab (PROLIA™) is contraindicated in patients with hypocalcemia. • Denosumab (PROLIA™) is contraindicated in patients with pregnancy. • Denosumab (Xgeva™) is not approved for patients with multiple myeloma or other cancers of the blood. Coding Guidelines:
The FDA has approved the use of denosumab (PROLIA™) and (Xgeva™). Medicare has determined under Section 1861 (t) that this drug may be paid when it is administered incident to a physician’s service and is determined to be reasonable and necessary.
Prolia has helped stop most of the bone-removing cells from getting to the bone and causing bone loss. Why Prolia is different. • Prolia is the first and only prescription medicine for postmenopausal osteoporosis that is a shot given 2 times a year in your doctor’s office.
There are no recommendations for how long you should take Prolia injections.
Prolia reduces the number of new vertebral fracture in postmenopausal women and the longer it is taken shows there is a bigger decrease in chance of vertibral fracture.
It is important that you should NOT stop Prolia without discussing this with your healthcare professional.
