Osteogenesis imperfecta

What This Code Means

A genetic disorder where bones are abnormally fragile and break easily, even from minor injuries, due to defective collagen production.

Coding Tips

  • •Specify the type of osteogenesis imperfecta (Type I-IV) if documented, as severity varies significantly
  • •Code any associated complications such as hearing loss, dental problems, or blue sclerae separately
