Importance of Bone Densitometry in Preventive Health
Bone densitometry, a critical tool in preventive health care, plays a significant role in the early detection and management of osteoporosis and other bone-related conditions. In our non-profit health insurance plans, we emphasize the importance of regular bone density screenings, particularly for individuals at higher risk, such as postmenopausal women and older adults. By including bone densitometry as a covered service, we empower our members to take proactive steps in maintaining their bone health. Early detection through this non-invasive test allows for timely intervention, reducing the risk of fractures and improving overall quality of life.
