Radiology Question for the Week of December 25, 2023

Question:

Can we still use 0508T to report pulse-echo ultrasound bone density measurement, tibia, when the results yield an indicator of axial bone mineral density in 2024?

Answer:

Category III code 0508T has been deleted, code 76999 should be reported instead for pulse-echo ultrasound bone density measurement, tibia, resulting in indicator of axial bone mineral density.
