Best Practice and Measure Tips

• BMD test must take place within six months of the fracture.
• If the fracture resulted in an inpatient stay, a BMD test administered during the stay will close the care opportunity.
• Documentation that the medications aren’t tolerated is not an exclusion for this measure.
• If the fracture resulted in an inpatient stay, long-acting osteoporosis therapy administered during the stay will close the care opportunity.
• See members for an office visit as soon as possible after an event occurs.
• Osteoporosis medication must be filled using a member’s Part D prescription drug benefit.
• To help prevent women from being included in this measure incorrectly, please check that fracture codes are not used before a fracture has been verified through imaging.
• Submit a corrected claim to fix Fracture codes submitted in error to remove the member from measure.
• A referral for a BMD will not close this care opportunity.
• Women at risk for osteoporosis should receive a bone density screening every two years.
