Medicare should cover the cost of your dexa scans more ofter than the "every 2 yrs" that is normally allowed. Since you are taking now, or going to take, Evenity the Dr can order scans more often to monitor you and the effects of the meds. I've had blood tests and other scans before the required time and Medicare has covered the extra tests for just that reason.

Thanks. I thought it should be covered.

If you are taking medication for osteoporosis, Medicare will cover a DEXA even more frequently than usual. I had two DEXAs not quite a year apart, and it was no problem. Being on meds is the key.
