Definition: Idiopathic osteoporosis refers to the development of osteopenia and fractures with minimal or no trauma in otherwise young, healthy individuals who are not postmenopausal or have other, identifiable secondary causes of osteoporosis.
733.00 - Osteoporosis, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
A lifelong lack of calcium plays a role in the development of osteoporosis. Low calcium intake contributes to diminished bone density, early bone loss and an increased risk of fractures. Eating disorders. Severely restricting food intake and being underweight weakens bone in both men and women.
Secondary osteoporosis is defined as bone loss that results from specific, well-defined clinical disorders. Many times reversible, secondary causes of bone loss are not considered in a patient with low bone mineral density (BMD).
This excess risk is more pronounced in the first few years on treatment. The average life expectancy of osteoporosis patients is in excess of 15 years in women younger than 75 years and in men younger than 60 years, highlighting the importance of developing tools for long-term management.
Other osteoporosis without current pathological fracture M81. 8 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 M81. 8 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Patients who qualify by statute for osteoporosis screening may be evaluated by studies that are characterized by CPT codes 77078, 77080, 77081, 77085, 76977, and G0130. The following is a list of ICD-10-CM codes that support the medical necessity of osteoporosis screening.
Localized osteoporosis in the context used indicates osteoporosis affecting either part of one bone or several bones in a chain. Osteoporosis is also used interchangeably with decreased bone density or osteopenia if there is little likelihood of osteomalacia.
Primary osteoporosis is the most common form of the disease and includes postmenopausal osteoporosis (type I), and senile osteoporosis (type II). Secondary osteoporosis is characterized as having a clearly definable etiologic mechanism.
The stages of OsteoporosisOsteoblasts vs Osteoclasts. Active Osteoblasts. ... Peak bone density and the first stages of osteopenia and osteoporosis. ... The second stage of osteopenia and osteoporosis. ... The third stage of osteopenia and osteoporosis. ... The fourth stage of osteopenia and osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a bone disease that causes your bones to be weak and more likely to break. Organs affected by osteoporosis include the ovaries and thyroid gland.
If you have a lower than normal bone density score — between -1 and -2.5 — you have osteopenia. If you score is lower than -2.5, you may be diagnosed with osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is the more serious progression of osteopenia.
Postmenopausal women are susceptible to primary osteoporosis since osteoporosis is closely related to estrogen deficiency. During the menopausal transition period, the drop of estrogen leads to more bone resorption than formation, resulting in osteoporosis.
Abstract. Long-term corticosteroid therapy is the most frequent and most severe cause of iatrogenic osteoporosis. Hypocalcaemia, subsequent to the induced negative calcium balance, may lead to secondary hyperparathyroidism. Corticosteroids also affect bone itself, probably by disrupting the production of growth factors ...
Th17 cells play an important role in various inflammatory conditions, such as osteoporosis, psoriasis, periodontal disease, RA and IBD (55, 56). Th17 cells are thus now often labeled as osteoclastogenic subsets of T lymphocytes (17, 69).
Osteoporosis without current pathological fracture. If the patient does not have current pathological fracture, you should select a code from the M81 series (even if the patient had pathological fracture in the past). A sixth digit indicates laterality. For example:
Risk factors for osteoporosis are aging, hypocalcemia, vitamin D deficiency, and osteomalacia. Osteoporosis is an asymptomatic unless complications (e.g., fracture) occur. Loss of bone mass leads to loss of bone strength, such that even a trivial trauma may be severe enough to cause a fracture.
Other osteoporosis with current pathological fracture, which includes: The M80 series of codes is appropriate for either age-related osteoporosis or other osteoporosis, with current pathological frac ture.
Causes may include senility (old age), inadequate intake of calcium and vitamin D, and protein deficiency.
Osteoporosis also may be related to endocrinal conditions, such as Cushing syndrome, hyperthyroid state, thyrotoxicosis, and diabetes mellitus. Finally, osteoporosis may be drug induced, for instance as a result of long-term steroid therapy.
A disorder characterized by reduced bone mass, with a decrease in cortical thickness and in the number and size of the trabeculae of cancellous bone ( but normal chemical composition), resulting in increased fracture incidence.
It occurs commonly in women within 15-20 years after menopause, and is caused by factors associated with menopause including estrogen deficiency. Osteoporosis makes your bones weak and more likely to break. Anyone can develop osteoporosis, but it is common in older women.
A condition of reduced bone mass, with decreased cortical thickness and a decrease in the number and size of the trabeculae of cancellous bone (but normal chemical composition), resulting in increased fracture incidence. Osteoporosis is classified as primary (type 1, postmenopausal osteoporosis; type 2, age-associated osteoporosis; and idiopathic, which can affect juveniles, premenopausal women, and middle-aged men) and secondary osteoporosis (which results from an identifiable cause of bone mass loss).
Reduction of bone mass without alteration in the composition of bone, leading to fractures. Primary osteoporosis can be of two major types: postmenopausal osteoporosis (osteoporosis, postmenopausal) and age-related or senile osteoporosis.
Loss of bone mass and strength due to nutritional, metabolic, or other factors, usually resulting in deformity or fracture; a major public health problem of the elderly, especially women. Metabolic disorder associated with fractures of the femoral neck, vertebrae, and distal forearm.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M81.0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Osteoporosis is classified as primary (type 1, postmenopausal osteoporosis; type 2, age-associated osteoporosis; and idiopathic, which can affect juveniles, premenopausal women, and middle-aged men) and secondary osteoporosis (which results from an identifiable cause of bone mass loss).
733.02 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of idiopathic osteoporosis. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
References found for the code 733.02 in the Index of Diseases and Injuries:
Osteoporosis makes your bones weak and more likely to break. Anyone can develop osteoporosis, but it is common in older women. As many as half of all women and a quarter of men older than 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis.
General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
Within each of these categories, each classification will have its own diagnosis code for osteoporosis. The globally used ICD code for osteoporosis is ICD 9 730.00 (which could also indicate the unspecified or other types of osteoporosis)…
This group can further be separated in three distinct types of primary osteoporosis: postmenopausal, senile and idiopathic osteo porosis.
Senile osteoporosis is considered to occur because of the deficiency of calcium detected in both men and women older than 70 years. This condition is associated with normal aging process and the common fractures seen in people diagnosed with this type are pelvic and hip fractures. Senile osteoporosis is classified under ICD 9 code 733.01.
Osteoporosis has no symptoms until a fracture occurs, which causes bone pain, height loss, and abnormal spine curvature. If a fracture is determined to be due to osteoporosis, it is considered a pathological fracture, which is a break of a diseased or weakened bone without any identifiable trauma or following a minor injury that would not ordinarily break a healthy bone.
When one of these terms is documented, a value from subcategory ICD 9 Code 733.1 may be assigned instead of any values from 800 to 820. If the physician documents stress fracture, assign one of the following codes:
This type of osteoporosis occurs because of an existence of some other underlying disease like nutritional deficiency in one or more vitamins and minerals , certain blood disorders, diabetes, hereditary reasons, kidney disease, intestinal absorption complications etc.
Secondary osteoporosis can also be caused by the long-term regimen of some prescription medication combinations. Some of these medications might include chemotherapy drugs, medications to prevent seizures, heparin, steroids, antacids containing aluminum and some hormonal treatments. This type is also known as Drug-Induced Osteoporosis and is classified under ICD 9 code 733.09.
