By Pam Flores, Health Guide Friday, April 27, 2012
I hope you've been following the news on Congress' legislative bill HR 2020/S. 1096, The Preservation of Access to Osteoporosis Testing for Medicare Beneficiaries Act of 2011.  This bill is to preserve the pre-2006 cuts to DXA's reimbursement rates through Medicare, which are at an all time low ...

Dear Pam!

 

You are doing a great service to the patients and sufferers of osteoporosis for whom DXA scans are so expensive. Although I am not directly affected by the conditions in the USA yet I must say that we would wish such conditions to be perfected in the same manner as you would wish yours to be perfected there. I fully enodorse your efforts and hope that your posts will awaken the powers that be to take appropriate steps.

 

Best wishes and thanks,

SincerelyYours,

Priya

Hi Priya, thanks so much for stopping by!  I'm worried about this development, and am glad you don't have this problem in your country.  I know you don't have the same access to dxa, as we do, but the state of this test is in jeopardy.  If we lose this test, we won't have anything else that's equivalent to measure bone loss.

 

I hope you're doing well and increasing your bmd with exercise and supplements.

 

Keep your fingers crossed that we can resolve this before it's too late.

 

Thanks again, have a great weekend.

 

Pam
