TBS must normally be ordered by your physician, I'm not sure radiologists can just decide to add an exam by themselves... But also if you find TBS in an imaging center, and not a hospital, it should be quite affordable. For instance, if you're on Medicare, the price for TBS outside of hospitals is around $40, and Medicare would cover 80% of that. Hospitals prices tend to be more expensive.

Thank you! I didn't see this early enough to cancel the DXA - I THINK, though I will try - but presumably I will need a scrip from the doctor for the imaging center scan. This situation is highly annoying! And the fact that the endo did not inform me about this alternative is also a bit confidence-busting. I'm sure she will say that the scan needs to be done where the last one was done to compare more exactly.
