Our Oncologist is going to begin a Medicare patient on endocrine therapy but is concerned about her osteopenia/osteoporosis and would like to do a dexa scan before the patient begins. The patient's last scan was Nov 2019. Is a diagnosis code to support this medical necessity or does Medicare automatically deny and not consider the patient's situation?
