What are Bone Density ICD-10 and CPT Codes?

The ICD-10 code used for bone density is M85.8, and the most common CPT code for bone density testing is 77080. Both codes are used for the diagnosis and billing of bone density testing, which helps identify individuals at risk for osteoporosis or other bone-related conditions.

The following table lists some of the possible ICD-10 and CPT codes that may be used for bone density testing:

ICD-10 CodeDescriptionCPT CodeDescription
M85.8Disorders of bone77080Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), bone density study
Z13.820Screening for osteoporosis77081Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), bone density study, 1 or more sites

The appropriate code may vary depending on the specific circumstances of each patient. A healthcare provider should be consulted to determine the most accurate diagnosis and corresponding ICD-10 and CPT codes.

How do BodySpec Mobile DEXA Scans Help Identify Bone Density?

BodySpec Mobile DEXA Scans are a portable and convenient tool for accurately measuring bone density. These scans use a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) machine to measure bone density in specific areas of the body, such as the hip and spine. By tracking changes in bone density over time, individuals can see if they are at risk of osteoporosis or other bone-related conditions. BodySpec Mobile DEXA Scans can also identify areas where bone density is low, which can be helpful for targeting specific problem areas.
