You did your best and sometimes logic doesn't fit with insurance
Gosh, Harrie, it would have been so nice if they had covered your DEXA, especially since you articulated your reasons so well that the medication you are taking causes bone thinning and is necessary for your medical condition. You did your best and at least you know it will be covered after the two-year timeframe.
