Osteochondropathy, unspecified multiple sites

This code signifies an unspecified disorder affecting bone and cartilage development or growth that impacts multiple anatomical locations. It represents a broad category of conditions where the precise type of osteochondropathy or its specific etiology has not been determined or documented.

Assign this code when documentation indicates an osteochondropathy affecting more than one site, but the specific type (e.g., Legg-Calvé-Perthes, Osgood-Schlatter) is not specified. This is typically used when the physician's diagnosis is vague or when further diagnostic workup is pending.

• Avoid using this code if a more specific osteochondropathy code (e.g., M91.1-, M92.5-) can be assigned based on documentation.
• Query the provider for clarification if the documentation mentions "multiple osteochondropathies" without specifying the type, to determine if a more precise code is warranted.
• This code should be used as a last resort when no other specific osteochondropathy code is available or documented.
