REIMBURSEMENT

Did you know that some of the services provided as part of a Fracture Liaison Service program could be reimbursed by Medicare? 

For help with economic benefit analysis: We are pleased to provide you with our interactive FLS return on investment calculator to help you estimate the economic benefit of implementing a secondary fracture prevention FLS program. This calculator enables FLS champions to make the business case for FLS implementation by inputting their own data on the estimated costs to implement FLS, revenue generated from FLS services and the projected impact on refracture rates and fracture cost savings. View the FLS return on investment calculator user guide here.
