(a) confirmation of a presumptive diagnosis of low bone mineral density made on the basis of one or more fractures occurring after minimal trauma; or
(b) monitoring of low bone mineral density proven by bone densitometry at least 12 months previously;
other than a service associated with a service to which item 12312, 12315 or 12321 applies
For any particular patient, once only in a 24 month period

(i) the patient has not previously had bone densitometry; or
(ii) the t-score for the patient's bone mineral density is -1.5 or more;
