DEXA History Integration
Ensure every enrolled patient has a documented DEXA scan within the last 24 months to satisfy Medicare requirements.
Chronic Condition Mapping
Link osteoporosis with common comorbidities like rheumatoid arthritis for higher-tier APCM reimbursement.
Monthly Monitoring Calls
Automate the required 20 minutes of monthly clinical staff time using AI-driven check-ins on bone health status.
Fracture History Documentation
Systematically record previous fragility fractures to qualify patients for secondary prevention programs.
Eligibility Verification
Automate the verification of Medicare Part B status to ensure seamless APCM billing cycles.
Care Plan Personalization
Generate automated bone health care plans based on initial AI-conducted intake assessments.
Medication Adherence & Lab Monitoring
8 itemsDenosumab Injection Reminders
Set automated 6-month reminders for Prolia injections to prevent the rapid decline in bone density after missed doses.
Oral Bisphosphonate Tracking
Use AI calls to verify weekly or monthly oral bisphosphonate intake and screen for GI side effects.
Calcium & Vitamin D Education
Deliver automated educational snippets regarding the necessity of calcium and vitamin D supplementation during therapy.
Pre-treatment Lab Scheduling
Automatically schedule metabolic panels to check calcium levels before administering bone-modifying agents.
Dental Clearance Workflows
Automate outreach to ensure patients have received dental clearance before starting high-dose antiresorptive therapy.
Side Effect Screening
Deploy AI to screen for atypical femur pain or jaw issues, escalating high-risk reports to clinical staff immediately.
Refill Authorization Management
Use AI to handle incoming pharmacy requests for osteoporosis medications, ensuring therapy continuity.
Post-Infusion Follow-up
Automate check-in calls 48 hours after infusion to manage flu-like symptoms or injection site reactions.

8 itemsAutomated Fall Risk Surveys
Conduct quarterly Stay Independent surveys via AI voice to identify changes in patient mobility and balance.
Home Safety Checklists
Deliver automated home safety evaluations, identifying hazards like throw rugs or poor lighting.
Physical Therapy Referrals
Trigger automated PT referrals for patients who report a fall or fear of falling during AI check-ins.
Vision Screening Reminders
Schedule annual eye exams as part of a comprehensive fall prevention strategy for APCM patients.
DME Coordination
Connect patients with durable medical equipment providers for walkers or canes based on AI-identified needs.
Weight-Bearing Exercise Tracking
Monitor and encourage participation in balance and strength training programs through automated outreach.
Medication Review for Syncope
Flag medications that increase fall risk (e.g., sedatives) during automated monthly medication reconciliations.
Post-Fall Incident Reporting
Establish a dedicated AI line for patients to report falls, triggering immediate clinical intervention and care plan updates.
Pro Tips
Schedule DEXA scans exactly 23 months after the last one to maximize Medicare coverage frequency.
Bundle APCM with Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) for patients using digital balance training tools.
Use AI to identify 'gap patients' who have had a fracture but no subsequent bone density testing.
Automate the collection of the FRAX score during the pre-visit phone call to save clinical time.
Integrate automated reminders for Vitamin D3 and K2 intake to improve overall bone mineralization outcomes.
