Oth osteopor w crnt path fx, unsp shldr, 7thK

This code signifies a patient diagnosed with osteoporosis, not specified as postmenopausal, age-related, or drug-induced, who has experienced a pathological fracture in an unspecified shoulder. The fracture is currently exhibiting nonunion, meaning it has failed to heal, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this unhealed fracture.

Use this code for a patient with documented osteoporosis and a current pathological shoulder fracture (unspecified laterality) that has not healed. This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters where the patient is receiving ongoing treatment for the nonunion of the fracture. Documentation should clearly state "nonunion" and "subsequent encounter."

• Ensure documentation specifies "pathological fracture" due to osteoporosis, not a traumatic fracture.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care of the nonunion, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Do not use if the specific type of osteoporosis (e.g., postmenopausal) is known; use a more specific M80 subcategory.
