@pathoag, I just had my third DEXA in a year and a half. I paid cash for the second one, $50, and the third one was actually covered by my Medicare advantage insurance. The insurance is supposed to pay more frequently than twice a year if you are on osteoporosis medication. I think that the Dr has to put medically necessary. I also put on the DEXA questionnaire that I was having the test to see if my medication was working.

Thank you so much! Its been almost 9 months since I finished Evenity injections. I felt I should be able to find out if it has helped, if my scores have improved. And I think I should have known before Prolia injections. I also think I should get the bone marker tests, CTX and P1nP. Think I would like to transition off of Prollia, but there is so much negativity about side effects for every drug. Thought about Reclast, but hearing horrible side effects from that.
I am going to message my Endocrinologist now ask her to order these tests, asap.
Thank you for your input.
