Non-billable headerNot valid on its own. Use one of the more specific codes under it.

M84.58 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM code header for pathological fracture in neoplastic disease, other specified site. Report a more specific code from it instead. It is part of the FY2027 code set, effective October 1, 2026. A 7th character is required to complete the code. Its coding notes include a Code also instruction and 11 Excludes2 entries.
