Hi All,
Im the newbie here...litterally. This is all new to me. I am not sure if this is proper place to ask this question, but I was looking for a code for Osteopenia on the VARSD links. I found it for Osteoporosis, but not for osteopenia, which is the early stages of osteoporosis. Im only in my 30's and fractured my femur at the neck {where it goes into your hip} while in Kuwait. Medevac'd to Germany for emergency surgery, then medevac'd home. Eight months later and my fracture still hasnt completely healed. I have three long screws in my femur. Its been a long rode to recovery {had to learn how to walk again}. Anyway, my question is, is there a code/rating for Osteopenia.
Thanks so much for your help,
Windy
