I’ve had different insurances and only have had Medicare for 4 years @harrington50. I did hear some thing about every other year for Medicare however, I think my doctor just had to write for a prior authorization to get it approved. It is possible that I have diagnosis which makes it easier to have it done every year with all the arthritis and degenerative conditions I have. I hope you are taking bone medication’s. There are other numbers when you take the bone medication’s that will help you improve your scores.

@harrington50 I was curious how you have gotten worse and are you in a treatment program? It seems to me all these tests are a nice luxury but according to my surgeon, they are only generalizations. My orthosurgeon just looks at the xrays he does in his office and see can see the real condition of my bones. (not good, LOL) so maybe don't stress too much. If the doctors don't give you the attention you are looking for -- maybe it means you are in good condition even if the numbers aren't what you'd like to see.
