is there a list anywhere of echo light locations in the United States ? Thank you so much it’s frustrating to try and get this info ……

if you write to the ECHOLIGHT company, they will send you information. The currrent list I know of is Illinois, NC, Florida, NJ, Texas & Pennsylvania. Tennessee is soon ( I read that in another forum). I am in Michigan and drove to Windsor.

Thank you for the info do you by any chance have a phone number for Illinois or Penn? I just tried requesting info from the New York headquarters and of course an error showed up when I tried to send. Echolight is one of the most difficult things to get information for …..?

I tagged you in another discussion that listed all the sites and numbers.

I am not sure what is happening, I had no trouble.

I’m sorry I can’t find that discussion . you send a link please? Thank you !

I just did. Look at the top right of the page for a notification. In Chicago, the Smart institute & osteostrong are the 2.

Hi, Susan, I'm sorry it's difficult to find info on the Echo Light REMS scan. By the way, I asked my Medicare Advantage insurance company, Scan Health Insurance, if they'd consider covering the REMS test. They haven't gotten back to me about my request yet but at least I asked. If insurance companies started covering the REMS test, more clinics might buy one of the REMS machines.

The only reason the DEXA test is covered by most insurance companies is because since its introduction it has been viewed as the test that's the gold standard because it was "the only game in town," so to speak.

Thank you for taking the time to reply….it should be covered!

I'm not sure where you are located in the U.S., but I just had a REMS Echolight scan done in Calgary Alberta, Canada. The technician said he sees people from the U.S. sometimes as it costs less for them than flying to a location in the U.S., then waiting for doctor's referral, flying back again etc. The cost at Wosler Diagnostic Lab in Calgary is $150.00 CA. I booked an appointment within 4 days and received the results immediately on the spot. I flew from Vancouver BC for $200.00 return. Dr. Doug Lucas has an excellent video on Echolight scans vs DEXA scans.
