Is M83.5 an HCC code?
M83.5 has no mapping under the current CMS-HCC V28 community payment model. M83.5 has a separate mapping under the Part D RxHCC model (HCC 87 (Osteoporosis, Vertebral and Pathological Fractures)); the applicable result needs member context.

What This Code Means
M83.5 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other drug-induced osteomalacia in adults. Soft, weak bones in adults caused by medications or drugs that interfere with vitamin D metabolism and bone mineralization. M83.5 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (m00-m99), within the section covering disorders of bone density and structure (m80-m85).
M83.5 has no mapping under the current CMS-HCC V28 community payment model. M83.5 has a separate mapping under the Part D RxHCC model (HCC 87 (Osteoporosis, Vertebral and Pathological Fractures)); the applicable result needs member context. Do not assign V28 risk adjustment value from this page; verify the applicable model and payment year before using this code for risk adjustment.
Identify and document the specific drug causing osteomalacia (anticonvulsants, bisphosphonates, etc.).
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for M83.5 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •Identify and document the specific drug causing osteomalacia (anticonvulsants, bisphosphonates, etc.)
- •Use with external cause codes to link to the causative medication
Clinical Significance
Other drug-induced osteomalacia represents bone softening caused by medications interfering with vitamin D metabolism or bone mineralization, indicating complex drug-disease interactions requiring medication review and bone health management. This diagnosis necessitates balancing essential medications with bone health preservation.
Documentation Requirements
- ✓Documentation of osteomalacia caused by specific medications
- ✓Identification of causative drug(s) and duration of use
- ✓Clinical or radiographic evidence of bone softening
- ✓Laboratory evidence supporting osteomalacia
- ✓Temporal relationship between drug use and bone disease
- ✓Treatment plan addressing medication management
- ✓Assessment of risk-benefit ratio for causative medications
