Is a dexa every 2 years enough?

Do you know how to check if your insurance company defines those tests as “medically necessary” for your condition? Usually, there is an electronic tool on the insurance portal that allows patients to evaluate the cost (co pays and/or whether certain tests and/or procedures are covered). Just out of curiosity, has your new dr confirmed that he or she believes those tests are medically necessary?

for the first time, i have a claim that needs to be appealed on Medicare and the directions i’m reading seem to say i’m the one who needs to write the appeal
He has not
Because he doesn’t use them at all

@elisabeth007 The tests were the first things he and I talked about. Yes, he believes they are medically necessary and my impression is that all of his OP patients get the order for them.
