Medical record must contain documentation that fully supports the medical necessity for administration of the specific denosumab formulation used.
For postmenopausal osteoporosis include menopausal status (female), age and sex, documentation supporting the osteoporosis diagnosis, prior osteoporosis treatments and outcomes/adverse reactions, prior fracture history (type, cause, time), and fracture risk factors/preventive measures.
For CTIBL include documentation of breast cancer or nonmetastatic prostate cancer, use of adjuvant AI or ADT, and any additional diagnosed risk factors.

Denosumab is covered for postmenopausal osteoporosis in patients at high risk for fracture when medical record documents menopausal status, diagnosis of osteoporosis, prior osteoporosis treatments and outcomes, fracture history, and fracture risk factors.
Denosumab is covered for cancer treatment–induced bone loss (CTIBL) in patients with breast cancer receiving adjuvant aromatase inhibitors (AI) or in patients with nonmetastatic prostate cancer receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) when documentation supports the cancer diagnosis and therapy.
Denosumab is covered for treatment of bone metastasis from a solid tumor when the claim lists bone metastasis (ICD-10-CM C79.51) as the primary diagnosis and the original cancer or history of cancer is included as the secondary diagnosis.
Denosumab is covered for management of hypercalcemia of malignancy when ICD-10-CM code E83.52 and the related malignancy and clinical rationale are documented.
Denosumab (Xgeva®) is covered for treatment of skeletal-related events in patients with multiple myeloma per FDA approval effective 01/04/2018 when clinical rationale is documented.
