Helping to limit disability with osteoporosis management

Musculoskeletal conditions are the second largest contributor to disability, according to the World Health Organization.

The HEDIS® measure** (also one of our Star measures) called Osteoporosis Management in Women who had a Fracture, or OMW, assesses women ages 67 through 85 who suffered a fracture and had either a bone mineral density test or received a prescription to treat osteoporosis within six months of the fracture.

Read the Osteoporosis Management in Women who had a Fracture tip sheet to learn more about this measure, including:

  • Information to include in medical records
  • ICD-10 codes to include on patient claims
