Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 77080 covers

Axial DXA uses low-dose X-rays to measure bone mineral density at one or more central sites, usually the lumbar spine and proximal femur. It helps evaluate osteoporosis risk and monitor response to treatment. A technologist positions the patient and acquires images in an imaging center, physician office, or hospital outpatient department. A radiologist or another qualified interpreting physician evaluates the results, including applicable T-scores or Z-scores, and signs the report.

Report one unit of 77080 for an axial DXA session, whether one or multiple axial sites are measured. If the same session includes DXA vertebral fracture assessment, report the combined service with 77085 instead. Record the clinical indication, measured sites, and signed interpretation. CMS separately prices the technical component, billed with modifier TC for equipment and staff, and the professional component, billed with modifier 26 for interpretation and report. When one billing entity furnishes both components, report the global service without a component modifier.
