Yes, I have TBS bone war now because it is a far more accurate way from year to year to determine your bone density absolutely. You can find some discussion of it under the bone medicines where I remember we discussed it at length last summer maybe do a search under TYMLOS or the other bone medicines. Yes my Medicare picks up the DEXA and TBS scores every year. Before I was on Medicare I also had insurance pick it up. I was on champ VA. I have never had insurance not pick up things associated with bone issues and I’ve been doing it for 20 years. I can only think if you’re not getting it covered that you don’t have a diagnosis that allows you to take bone measurements every year like arthritis or osteoporosis or osteopenia because I know it’s allowed by all insurances, but they want you to have the proper diagnosis in order to get it every year or even more than every year. I think with no qualification, the medical insurances went to every two years, but I could be wrong on that. All I know is I get mine every year for 20 years covered.

Medicare covers the cost of a bone density scan for you every year for the last 20 years? I've been diagnosed with osteopenia for over 20 years and have only been able to get one approved every other year, even as my condition has worsened
