ICD-10 CM code Z79.51, Z79.52 should be reported for an individual on glucocorticoid therapy. ICD-10 CM code Z79.83 should be reported for DXA testing while taking medicines for osteoporosis/osteopenia.
Disorder of bone density and structure, unspecified M85. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M85. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.

ICD-10 CM code Z79. 83 should be reported for DXA testing while taking medicines for osteoporosis/osteopenia. ICD-10 CM code Z09 should be reported for an individual who has COMPLETED drug therapy for osteoporosis and is being monitored for response to therapy.
Osteopenia is a loss of bone mineral density (BMD) that weakens bones. It's more common in people older than 50, especially women. Osteopenia has no signs or symptoms, but a painless screening test can measure bone strength.
Medicare will cover a test once every 24 months for a preventive screening if they meet the following requirements: a doctor certifies a woman is at risk for osteoporosis due to estrogen deficiency or medical history. a person's X-ray shows signs of osteoporosis, osteopenia, or fractured vertebrae.
Types of Bone Density Tests DXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) measures the spine, hip, or total body. Doctors consider this test the most useful and reliable for checking bone density. QCT (quantitative computed tomography) usually measures the spine, but it can test other sites, too.
The full cost of a bone density scan is covered under original Medicare every 24 months. If you need to have a bone density test more often, your doctor will have to provide proof of a reason for more frequent testing.
CPT code 77080 & 77081 are used for coding DEXA bone density/test exam. Medical coders use ICD 10 code Z01. 820, for Screening of bone density for osteoporosis. Osteopenia and osteoporosis both are caused because of low density in bone.
Unlike ordinary X-rays, DEXA scans can measure tiny reductions in bone density. This makes it possible to diagnose osteoporosis in its early stages, before you break a bone. A DEXA scan also uses a low dose of radiation, which means the risks to health are much lower than with standard X-rays.
In order to diagnose osteopenia, your doctor will do a bone density test. Bone density measures bone mass and bone strength. One type of test is a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA). It measures bone density in your hips, spine, and wrist.
Osteopenia is when your bones are weaker than normal but not so far gone that they break easily, which is the hallmark of osteoporosis. Your bones are usually at their densest when you're about 30. Osteopenia, if it happens at all, usually occurs after age 50.
If you have a lower than normal bone density score — between -1 and -2.5 — you have osteopenia. If you score is lower than -2.5, you may be diagnosed with osteoporosis....What are the key differences between osteopenia and osteoporosis?OsteopeniaOsteoporosisT score-1 to -2.5-2.5 and lowerAug 28, 2021
A disorder characterized by reduced bone mass, with a decrease in cortical thickness and in the number and size of the trabeculae of cancellous bone ( but normal chemical composition), resulting in increased fracture incidence.
It occurs commonly in women within 15-20 years after menopause, and is caused by factors associated with menopause including estrogen deficiency. Osteoporosis makes your bones weak and more likely to break. Anyone can develop osteoporosis, but it is common in older women.
Loss of bone mass and strength due to nutritional, metabolic, or other factors, usually resulting in deformity or fracture; a major public health problem of the elderly, especially women. Metabolic disorder associated with fractures of the femoral neck, vertebrae, and distal forearm.
Osteoporosis is classified as primary (type 1, postmenopausal osteoporosis; type 2, age-associated osteoporosis; and idiopathic, which can affect juveniles, premenopausal women, and middle-aged men) and secondary osteoporosis (which results from an identifiable cause of bone mass loss).
