Bone Strength Ultrasound at a Limb Site

Nebraska rates for HCPCS 76977

Measures bone strength at a site away from the trunk, commonly the heel, wrist, or finger, using sound waves instead of radiation. It gives a quick estimate of bone loss and is often used for screening in settings without a full scanning table. The result is compared against a standard range to flag people who may need further testing.
