What 77092 covers
This service covers the professional review and report of trabecular bone score (TBS) analysis derived from DXA imaging, generally of the lumbar spine. A radiologist, endocrinologist, rheumatologist, or other qualified health professional interprets the result as an adjunct to bone-density findings when assessing fracture risk, such as during osteoporosis evaluation or management. TBS evaluates aspects of bone structure not captured by bone mineral density alone; it is not a separate DXA image acquisition.
Report 77092 for the interpretation and report, not for the technical analysis. The record should identify the imaging data reviewed and include the TBS findings and their clinical interpretation for fracture-risk assessment. CMS classifies this as a professional-component-only service, with a separate code covering the technical portion. When technical calculation is separately reported, 77091 is the related technical code; 77089 represents a different, combined TBS service. The underlying DXA examination, such as an axial study, is reported separately when performed.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

77092 billing questions
When should 77092 be used instead of 77089?
Use 77092 for the professional interpretation and report only. Code 77089 represents a combined TBS service that includes calculation and interpretation/report.
Which code covers the technical calculation?
77091 covers the technical calculation and may be reported with 77092 when the technical and professional work are separately performed and reported.
Is the DXA examination included in 77092?
No. 77092 reports interpretation of TBS analysis, not DXA image acquisition. Report the appropriate DXA examination separately when performed.
What documentation supports 77092?
Document the TBS data reviewed, the interpreted findings, and the resulting report addressing fracture risk. The service must reflect professional interpretation rather than technical processing alone.
Does 77092 represent a professional component?
Yes. CMS identifies 77092 as a professional-component-only code; a separate code covers the technical portion.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
