Episode Description

Insurance barriers can delay access to necessary medications. In this conversation, David shares his personal journey with osteoporosis, a condition often perceived as a women's disease, and the challenges he is encountering to get the medication he needs.

Key Takeaways

  • Men are risk for osteoporosis. It is not just a women's disease.
  • Be proactive: Routine screening for osteoporosis is not recommended for men. So, men with a family history of osteoporosis and/or fractures after minor trauma should proactively request a bone density text, call a DEXA scan
  • Always (always) request a copy of a healthcare denial letter. Don't just accept a verbal communication. Insurance companies are required to put every denial in writing and include the contractual reason for the denial.
