Schedule a bone density test.
If you are age 65 or older, call your doctor or health center to make an appointment for a bone density test. If you are age 60 to 64, talk to your doctor about when to start testing your bone density.

What about cost?
Medicare will usually pay for a bone density test in women over age 65. Some men over age 65 may also be covered.
You can still get a bone density test even if you don't have health insurance. Find a health center near you to learn more.
