Bone densitometry is a natural continuation of our services. We wanted to be a Women s Health Center providing all services under one roof.
Bone densitometry is a natural continuation of our services.
As a medium-sized practice with five physicians, Dr. Bullis decided to purchase a DEXA table for the main office and a peripheral densitometer to be used in their satellite offices. The peripheral densitometer allows us to pre-screen for osteoporosis at the satellite clinics and to refer the women at risk to our main office for a DEXA scan. It makes life easier for both the patients and us. Return on Investment Concerns Prior to the densitometer purchase the clinic-referred patients for bone scans to the local hospital. We didn t have a real good handle on the number of referrals but just by polling our own physicians, we found that we each referred a minimum of 10 patients a month.
