@jozer are you locked into this doctor? You might look around I hearing dexas from independent imaging centers are $100 to $200. You might ask your reluctant prescriber for script that you could take elsewhere. You can get both CTX and P1NP for $148 at https://www.jasonhealth.com/

@gently Since you mentioned the correct cost of ordering CTX and P1NP at Jason Health online, I wonder if you can tell me what term you used to order a P1NP test. I tried entering P1NP and the full name (Procollagen Type I Intact N Terminal Propeptide) but could not find that test online. I had to contact Jason directly and they entered it for me in the Shopping Cart. But still curious as to why I couldn't locate it. No problem finding the CTX.

@gently No, not at all locked into any doctor; for anything at any time! and will start once again trying to find a doc/group/center who will do complete testing. Independent centers that I could find here (i.e. Dexafit) say what they do is not to be considered medical. The other ones that I came up with all need physician's referral, which I have but it is only for the one I have been to in the past, where I can't get a straight answer on price. I have looked into Jason Health; but since I am not on an anabolic - only bisphosphonates so far - not sure if P1NP is necessary (doc doesn't do it). I do get CTX, and of course CMP.
