Own the Bone Economic Impact Calculator *NEW*

The Economic Impact calculator is offered by the AOA as a user-friendly, interactive calculator to help decision-makers estimate the economic benefit of implementing a secondary fracture prevention program.  The site-specific Executive Summary generated by the calculator can help demonstrate if the financial impact of the program, including revenue and expenses, can be beneficial or cost neutral to institutions.

Request an appointment to participate in an Own the Bone Economic Impact Calculator webinar.  To help ensure complete data, sites are encouraged to include both a clinician who is familiar with the fragility fracture population at the facility and an administrator familiar with billing and coding.
