@katz1 Hi, My doctor let me know that the cost of a Dexa is about $100. I didn't want to wait so went ahead and did it. It did actually cost $100 last year here in California. It's worth checking with your health system and see what they charge out of pocket.

@gigi4 Great to know! When I told my endocrinologist I wasn’t going to take meds, but was going to take the natural route for a year then do a DEXA scan, I think she was tying to “scare me” off my plan. She said, you know insurance won’t cover a DEXA next year and it’s very expensive!! I would rather pay and find out whether my efforts are successful or not in a year instead of waiting for 2 years!! I will call my insurance and get the price.
