Don't wait for a bone to break — get tested for osteoporosis. Your risk of osteoporosis grows as you get older, so it's important to take early action to help protect your bones. Talk with your doctor about whether a bone mass measurement is right for you. This test can help prevent or detect osteoporosis at an early stage, when treatment works best. Medicare Part B covers a bone mass measurement once every 24 months (more often if medically necessary) — at no cost to you when your doctor orders it. Here are some additional tips on keeping your bones strong as you age. Sincerely, The Medicare Team |
