(L34639) Bone Mass Measurement ICD-10 Codes That Support Medical Necessity and Covered by Medicare Program: Group 1 Paragraph: Note: ICD-10 codes must be coded to the highest level of specificity. When 77078, 77080, 77081, 77085, 76977 or G0130 is done as an initial diagnostic test that determines a diagnosis of E24.
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.
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.
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.
For example, Z12. 31 (Encounter for screening mammogram for malignant neoplasm of breast) is the correct code to use when you are ordering a routine mammogram for a patient.
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.
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. Osteoporosis is the more serious progression of osteopenia.
