Transcription

1 The Clinical Utilization Management (UM) Guidelines on this list represent the Clinical UM Guidelines adopted by the Medical Operations Committee for the Government Business Division. To see the full list of Clinical UM Guidelines, visit the Medical Policies and Clinical UM Guidelines page. Update to clinical guideline, Central (Hip or Spine) Bone Density Measurement and Screening for Vertebral Fractures Using Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (CG-MED-39), was published January 30, Effective, January 30, 2018, this clinical guideline will apply to Medicaid lines of business. The clinical indication section specific to female screening of osteoporosis was revised to reflect that an initial (baseline) central (hip or spine) bone density measurement is considered medically necessary when conducted in postmenopausal individuals 65 years of age or older. The guideline also identifies other clinical indications when initial and repeat central bone mineral density measurements are medically necessary.
