Dx: I have osteopenia, which is a loss of bone density but not as severe as osteoporosis.
Now I know, I can do something about it.
But why are bone scans not rebatable under 70? Surely it's better to know as early as possible & prevent it worsening?
I'm lucky; I can afford it. Many can't.

I had a bone density scan t'other day. Wanted to find out if I had osteoporosis or was at risk of it. I didn't want to find out for the first time after I'd broken a hip or crushed a vertebra.
No Medicare rebate because I'm under 70. Had to pay every cent of the scan myself.
