I'm on traditional Medicare and a supplemental. I've been having DXAs every year for 5-6 years and I've twice paid for DXAs before the one year was up because I wanted to plan ahead and needed to know what results I was getting to be able to do so.

At Medicare email about 3 months ago said that if the DEXA scan is to compare results against a previous one, it can be less than 2 yr interval. The 2026 Medicare booklet says bone mass measurements: once every 24 months (More often if medically necessary) for people who have certain medical conditions (like osteroporosis) or meet certain conditions. Call medicare and ask them re your reason.
