DUE MARCH 2: FRACTURE LIAISON SERVICE CALL FOR SITE APPLICATIONS
NBHA has released a call for applications for institutions interested in being considered a site for the prospective 3-year, $29 million CMS-funded initiative that would create a fracture liaison service in the Medicare (and Medicaid age 50 and above) population in up to 80 sites.
Call for site applicationsAdditional details about this proposed project
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that some older women with normal bone density may be able to delay follow-up testing, but guidelines for women with or at risk for osteoporosis remain unchanged. View NBHA’s response to news coverage of the study.
