Determinations/Health as made: This instrument revokes and replaces the Health Insurance (Bone Densitometry) Determination 2011 and increases the fees for services due to annual indexation typically applied to Medicare services (other than pathology and diagnostic imaging services). Clinicians at DXA facilities must be educated and trained in bone densitometry and update their skills regularly. Demonstration of proficiency in bone densitometry certification and/or accreditation gives healthcare providers and those who pay for these services some assurance that basic skills have been learned and can be applied. CLINICAL ROLE OF BONE DENSITY MEASUREMENTS. Today, BMD measurements have an important role in the evaluation of patients at risk of osteoporosis and in the appropriate use of antifracture treatment. 14,26,27 In general the preferred method of testing is to use DXA scans of the central skeleton to measure BMD of the lumbar spine and hip.

Bone density, or bone mineral density (BMD), is the amount of bone mineral in bone tissue. The concept is of mass of mineral per volume of bone (relating to density in the physics sense), although clinically it is measured proxy according to optical density per square centimetre of bone surface upon imaging.
