If a patient has been diagnosed with osteopenia several years ago on a previous dexa, and now their doctor orders a dexa using "osteopenia" as the reason, but the radiologist documents normal exam, no osteopenia.... would we code this with the referring providers reason for exam, osteopenia? Or code this as a screening? There is no documentation of any kind of treatment or medication for the osteopenia, so there is no drug monitoring to code. :unsure:
