Our oncologist likes a bone density prior to starting therapy for breast cancer. It is recommended on the NCCN guidelines to get a baseline bone density test before starting an aromatase inhibitor and periodically thereafter. What diagnosis code would we use for this particular bone density - Would it be a screening or is there something else because of the breast neoplasm? thank you in advance.
