PROTECT PATIENT ACCESS TO OSTEOPOROSIS TESTING
Ask your Senators to support the inclusion of “Medicare Fracture Prevention and Osteoporosis Testing Act of 2009” in health care reform!
Bone density tests are critical to detecting osteoporosis and preventing debilitating and costly fractures before they occur. Current and proposed Medicare reimbursement cuts for DXA testing may impact access to care by making it harder for those with and at risk for osteoporosis to be tested. S. 769/H.R. 1894 would roll back Medicare reimbursement cuts for DXA testing and authorize a study of how reduced reimbursement would affect patients. Learn more...
Senate and House Committees responsible for health care reform have begun to draft and debate reform proposals. In the coming weeks, one Senate Committee plans to vote on its health reform legislation. We need you to ask your Members of Congress to support the inclusion of S. 796/H.R. 1894 in health care reform!
