1 Bone Mineral Density Studies in Adult Populations Last Review Date: July 8, 2016 Number: MG.MM.RA10aC4 Medical Guideline Disclaimer Property of EmblemHealth. All rights reserved. The treating physician or primary care provider must submit to EmblemHealth the clinical evidence that the patient meets the criteria for the treatment or surgical procedure. Without this documentation and information, EmblemHealth will not be able to properly review the request for prior authorization. The clinical review criteria expressed below reflects how EmblemHealth determines whether certain services or supplies are medically necessary. EmblemHealth established the clinical review criteria based upon a review of currently available clinical information (including clinical outcome studies in the peer-reviewed published medical literature, regulatory status of the technology, evidence-based guidelines of public health and health research agencies, evidence-based guidelines and positions of leading national health professional organizations, views of physicians practicing in relevant clinical areas, and other relevant factors). EmblemHealth expressly reserves the right to revise these conclusions as clinical information changes, and welcomes further relevant information. Each benefit program defines which services are covered. The conclusion that a particular service or supply is medically necessary does not constitute a representation or warranty that this service or supply is covered and/or paid for by EmblemHealth, as some programs exclude coverage for services or supplies that EmblemHealth considers medically necessary. If there is a discrepancy between this guideline and a member's benefits program, the benefits program will govern. In addition, coverage may be mandated by applicable legal requirements of a state, the Federal Government or the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for Medicare and Medicaid members. All coding and web site links are accurate at time of publication. EmblemHealth Services Company LLC, ( EmblemHealth ) has adopted the herein policy in providing management, administrative and other services to HIP Health Plan of New York, HIP Insurance Company of New York, Group Health Incorporated and GHI HMO Select, related to health benefit plans offered by these entities. All of the aforementioned entities are affiliated companies under common control of EmblemHealth Inc. Definitions 1. Bone mineral density (BMD) studies (aka bone mass measurement) radiologic, radioisotopic or other procedures that quantify BMD, detect bone loss or determine bone quality. BMD measurements are used to predict the risk of fractures. Studies are typically performed using a bone densitometer or a bone sonometer system and include a physician's interpretation of the results. 2. BMD measurement sites a. Central (axial) hip and spine b. Peripheral (appendicular) e.g., forearm, finger, heel 3. BMD technologies EmblemHealth recognizes the following modalities for central or peripheral sites as clinically effective: a. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA) b. Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) c. Single energy X-ray absorptiometry (SEXA) d. Ultrasound (sonometry) (e.g., Achilles + Bone Sonometer, Sahara, SoundScan) 4. BMD utility a. Assessment fracture risk b. Diagnosis osteoporosis, vertebral fracture c. Therapeutic guidance/follow-up/serial measurements
2 Page 2 of 41 Guideline i. To determine whether bone loss treatment should be initiated ii. Baseline for future monitoring iii. Monitoring of drug therapies known to adversely affect bone density iv. Osteoporosis drug therapy: 1. Response (e.g., increase or stability of bone density) 2. Non-response (e.g., findings of bone density loss suggesting the need for reevaluation of treatment and evaluation for secondary causes) Members are eligible for coverage of BMD Studies using FDA approved technologies when any of the following criteria sets (#s 1 4) is applicable (# 5 for frequency guidance): 1. Peripheral studies (forearm site only); any of the following: a. Hip/spine cannot be measured or interpreted. b. Asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) to facilitate surgical decision-making c. Obesity precludes DXA measurement accuracy (e.g., member s weight/size exceeds scanning bed capacity) 2. Central studies; any of the following: a. Women 65 b. Females in menopausal transition (late 40s) c. Postmenopausal females > 50 years d. Women during the menopausal transition with clinical risk factors for fracture (e.g., low body weight, prior fracture, or high-risk medication use)* e. Men 70 f. Men < 70 with clinical risk factors for fracture g. Presence of a fragility fracture h. Presence of a disease or condition associated with low bone mass or bone loss i. Current drug therapy associated with low bone mass or bone loss j. Monitoring of treatment effect k. Any member not receiving therapy in whom evidence of bone loss would lead to treatment * Women discontinuing estrogen should be considered for bone density testing 3. Simultaneous axial (central) and appendicular (peripheral) Studies; only in the following limited circumstances: a. Axial is medically necessary to obtain a baseline for monitoring if osteoporosis is identified with appendicular scan b. Appendicular is medically necessary when artifacts obscurei measurement at the axial site c. Member is diagnosed with uncorrected PHPT 4. Vertebral Fracture Assessment (VFA) with densitometric spine imaging to detect vertebral fractures The Plan will consider DXA VFA only when the results may influence clinical management a. Postmenopausal women with low bone mass by BMD criteria plus any: i. 70 years ii. Historical height loss > 4 cm (1.6 in) iii. Prospective height loss > 2 cm (0.8 in) iv. Self-reported vertebral fracture (not previously documented)
3 Page 3 of 41 v. 2 of the following: years 2. Self-reported prior non-vertebral fracture 3. Historical height loss of 2 4 cm 4. Chronic systemic diseases associated with increased risk of vertebral fractures (e.g., moderate to severe COPD or COAD, seropositive rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn s disease) b. Men with low bone mass by BMD criteria plus any: i. 80 years ii. Historical height loss > 6 cm (2.4 in) iii. Prospective height loss > 3 cm (1.2 in) iv. Self-reported vertebral fracture (not previously documented) v. 2 of the following; years 2. Self-reported prior non-vertebral fracture 3. Historical height loss of 3 6 cm 4. On pharmacologic androgen deprivation therapy or following orchiectomy 5. Chronic systemic diseases associated with increased risk of vertebral fractures (e.g., moderate to severe COPD or COAD, seropositive rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn s disease) c. Women or men on chronic glucocorticoid therapy (equivalent to 5 mg of prednisone daily x 3 months) d. Postmenopausal women or men with osteoporosis by BMD criteria, if documentation of one or more vertebral fractures will alter clinical management 5. Serial Measurement Frequency Time-Frame Intervals 1x within 24-months (Prerequisite: 23-month lapse since prior study) 2x within 24 months (Prerequisite: 11-month lapse since prior study) > 2x within 24-months Indications BMD studies one year after initiation (or change of therapy) is appropriate with longer intervals once therapeutic effect is established. Any: 1. Baseline bone mass measurement for future monitoring (when the initial test utilized differs from the proposed testing modality). 2. Monitoring long-term glucocorticoid (steroid) therapy or anticonvulsant therapy > 3 months duration. 3. Monitoring uncorrected primary hyperparathyroidism. Conditions associated with rapid bone loss 1. Glucocorticoid therapy ( 5 mg of prednisone daily x 3 months) 2. Follow up to assess FDA-approved osteoporosis drug therapy until a response to such therapy has been documented over time. Limitations/Exclusions 1. Tests not ordered by the physician/qualified non-physician practitioner, who is treating the beneficiary, are not reasonable and necessary.
4 Page 4 of It is not medically necessary to perform > 1 type of test in any individual unless a different confirmatory test is performed as a baseline for future monitoring. 3. It is not medically necessary to have both peripheral and axial tests performed on the same day. Peripheral BMD studies are not considered medically necessary for PHPT if performed on any body part other than the cortical bone (e.g. fingers, ultrasound of the heel, etc.). 4. DXA screening as a BMD-adjunct for vertebral fractures is not considered medically necessary (except in the limited circumstances described in # 4 above), as the precision is low precision reference database inadequate. 5. Single and dual photon absorptiometry (CPT codes 78350, 78351) are not considered medically necessary, as they have become obsolete within the medical community.
