This article explores how Medicare can support your bone health and what services are available to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Importance of Bone Health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As we age, our bones can become more brittle and prone to fractures. Conditions such as osteoporosis are common among older people, increasing the risk of serious fractures. Maintaining good bone health through proper diet, exercise and regular medical care is critical to preventing long-term problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Medicare Bone Health Coverage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Bone Density Tests:<\/strong>&nbsp;Medicare Part B covers bone density exams (DEXA) every two years for people at risk for osteoporosis, postmenopausal women, and other medical conditions that can lead to brittle bones. These tests are crucial for detecting bone loss early and taking preventive measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Medical Therapies:<\/strong>&nbsp;Medicare Part B also covers drugs and treatments prescribed by your doctor to treat osteoporosis. This may include drugs that help strengthen bones and prevent fractures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goavila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/old-woman-in-a-cafe-with-young-granddaughter-2022-06-09-15-45-29-utc-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Old woman in a cafe with young granddaughter\" class=\"wp-image-59769\" style=\"width:474px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goavila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/old-woman-in-a-cafe-with-young-granddaughter-2022-06-09-15-45-29-utc-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/goavila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/old-woman-in-a-cafe-with-young-granddaughter-2022-06-09-15-45-29-utc-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/goavila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/old-woman-in-a-cafe-with-young-granddaughter-2022-06-09-15-45-29-utc-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/goavila.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/old-woman-in-a-cafe-with-young-granddaughter-2022-06-09-15-45-29-utc.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.
