To the ISCD Reimbursement Web Site (U.S.)

The International Society for Clinical Densitometry Reimbursement Web Site contains state-specific insurance and billing information. This will help referring healthcare providers to determine whether a bone density test is likely to be a covered benefit and help bone densitometry centers in billing Medicare, insurance companies and health plans.

The development and ongoing maintenance of the Reimbursement Web Site has been supported by a grant from Merck & Company, Inc.

Information contained on this Web site includes:

Names of the individual state health care carriers,
Telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of those carriers,
Criteria set by the carriers for performance of bone density testing,
Appropriate procedural codes for the specific bone density testing device used in the office,
Diagnostic codes for the disease process in which the procedure is being utilized, and
Comments that will further assist the office when interacting with carriers.

To use this site, click on your state on the map of the United States. A listing of health care carriers and reimbursement information will appear.
