HELP!! Bone Denisity Coding

Our radiologist sends us a minimal report to code DXA but sends a full report to the ordering physician. We have asked for the full report but she says what she sends us should be sufficient. I can't find a solid guideline from a reputable source that tells us what elements should be in a DXA report in order to compliantly code.

This is what we get from the radiologist:


EXAM: MA Digital Bone Density Axial


Clinical History: Post menopausal. Osteopenia. On calcium replacement.


The BMD T-score of -2.3 is classified as osteopenic according to World Health Organization Guidelines.


Fracture risk is moderate.


A formal report will follow.


Does this appear to be sufficient to code?


I appreciate any input!
