Hi there. Newbie here---I joined yesterday. I understand that Echolight is rolling out in the U.S., but the search has been frustrating. I'm in Northern California and the one facility nearby, Anatara in San Francisco, charges $900+ for the REMS scan (more than double the normal scan fee, plus an additional charge for the interpretation) and does not take insurance. Other facilities charge a normal fee and take insurance (my insurance covers REMS 100%), and the scan of course includes an interpretation at no charge.
I contacted Echolight through its webpage and received a response from Italy today that seems to be a bot (refers me to the link I originally contacted through, which actually isn't working today--and does no response to my subsequent questions.
Additionally, the NY office 833 number is non-working and the other number listed is only 9 digits, not 10).
Has anyone else had better luck? I'm willing to travel. Thanks!

Precision Bone Imaging is doing REMS events around California. I had mine done at Osteostrong in San Jose in September. The current schedule only lists Southern California locations but I'm sure they will be back North at some point. precisionboneimaging.com/bo...
While the cost is much more reasonable than you quote I found the operation to be a bit ramshackle including a wobbly table. My results were highly dubious. I would recommend sticking with a proper medical facility even at higher cost.
Although not very close to you, there is a breast US place in Scottsdale that is now doing REMS US scans, run by a radiologist Dr. Krishnan. No clue how long they've been doing them and how trained their US tech is. But as I live in SoCal and don't trust going to a place like Osteostrong which is not a medical facility, I think I will be traveling to Scottsdale in the near future for a REMS scan. Pretty cheap flights on Southwest to get there.
thank you. I agree about using medical facilities that follow standardized clinical protocols including maintenance and calibration…esp since Echolight isn’t even about to maintain a working corporate phone number or customer support…I’ve not gotten any response from Echolight Italy either
