REM Ultrasound for eval of bone health (bone density and bone quality)
Has anyone had the newly FDA approved echolight sonogram bone scan ( REM Scan) ? If so please share where and your experience. Looking for a location in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area that offers this Rem Scan ultrasound technology for evaluation of bone density and bone quality. Thank you in advance for your response.

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.
