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.
