M85 Other disorders of bone density and structure

91 codes under M85 in the South African Master Industry Table 2021, 81 valid for clinical use.

Valid: the code is at its most specific level and may go on an account. Heading only: code to a more specific entry beneath it. PMB and CDL: a Prescribed Minimum Benefit or Chronic Disease List condition per the Council for Medical Schemes. † dagger and * asterisk codes are used as a pair. How to read the table

This is the South African table. Most ICD-10 results online are the United States’ ICD-10-CM, a different code set that South African medical schemes do not accept. Regulation 5 of the General Regulations under the Medical Schemes Act requires the diagnostic code on every account, and the Master Industry Table is the list it is coded from.
