Wiki Osteoporosis Screening

[Diana2032]

Good morning,

I was wondering if any of you can assist me, my provider is a children’s orthopedist and she has advised that there is a CPT / HCPCS code for osteoporosis screening, kind of like the G code Medicare uses for smoking cessation. I’ve done research and the only thing I was able to come up with is ICD-10 codes for the osteoporosis screening, no CPT nor HCPCS code. Can anyone advise?

Thank you,

May be referring to G8399, G8401, G8400?

Thank you for getting back to me. Upon further research those G codes are PQRS codes, I believe this would have a good impact as far as quality of care being reported to Medicare. As far as reimbursement I don't believe reporting any of these codes would have an impact. I still have to research more on PQRS measures. Thank you again!
