REM Ultrasound for eval of bone health (bone density and bone quality)

Need to know where in newportbeach Cali is a REM sonogram for osteoporosis echo Light sonogram. It evaluates bone health without radiation x-ray.

I am scheduled for a REM scan this week, but I'm in Ontario, Canada. Looking for more information about my osteoporosis, in terms of bone strength as well as bone density. I discovered Dr. Doug Lucas, and that's where I learned about REM. I am hoping that I find out my bone strength is decent, fingers crossed! I think Dr. Doug mentions some locations in the US, but I don't think there were many. I just google it, and found a mobile clinic that travels. I will be travelling 3 hours for my appointment, so hopefully our winter doesn't force me to cancel.

Although REMS is covered by Medicare, Screen My Bones does not accept Medicare and will not provide the paperwork to file for reimbursement. Has anyone been able to get Medicare reimbursement for REMS?
thank you!

I was under the impression that REMS is not covered by Medicare, or any other insurance.

I wanted to try and ask a question! Eight months ago I received a Reclast infusion and have experienced shoulder, left foot pain as well as feeling nauseated off and on and exhaustion. Spoke with my endocrinologist and he did not believe that the Reclast infusion did this and wants to preform another infusion. My question is; has anyone else ever received an infusion, experienced side effects and yet went on to have another infusion? And if you did, did the pain intensity change? I apologize if I have posted in the wrong location because I did not know how to move about!

I had their REMS scan to get a different perspective, an extra piece of information. I felt better about myself, even though the scan showed red (color used to show lesser bone). It was over $200 and done with a traveling/suitcase REMS scanner.

Hello @ajpost, I'm not sure who you booked your REMS with in Ontario but thought I would mention a new Canada wide service I discovered through Advanced Bone Health https://bonescan.ca/. They are just starting up and provide a rotating service every 3 months or so at various ultra sound clinics. I had one a few days ago just a 15 minute drive from where I live in Fraser Valley, BC. I had to fly to Calgary last April for my last scan, so was thrilled. I was very impressed with the thorough professional service and would recommend them. The cost was $175.00 CA and $150.00 if you come with a friend. I was thrilled that after starting BHRT in July and following Keith McCormick's recommendations since December, 2023, my rapid bone loss has stopped. My REMS spine T score was -3 ten months ago and was -2.6 on February 24th with still moderate/low fracture. risk. I was also thrilled to meet a Mayo Connect member at the Clinic who had driven from Oregon after seeing my post about the REMS clinic! I hope to have another DEXA soon with TBS this time. My last DEXA in November 2023 showed -3.5 in spine, a drastic drop from -2.8 in 2019 after Prednisone.
