Services & Pricing
Answer: When Miami launches, REMS bone health assessments will start at $325. Additional services include body composition analysis, wellness education consultations, and personalized wellness plans. All services include same-day results and are HSA/FSA eligible.
Radiation-free ultrasound-based bone density and quality assessment with same-day results, T-score, fragility score, and 5-year fracture risk evaluation.
Advanced bioelectrical impedance analysis measuring muscle mass, body fat distribution, cellular hydration, and sarcopenia risk indicators.
Answer: REMS bone assessment is a screening tool for adults concerned about bone health and is not a replacement for diagnostic imaging ordered by a physician. Individuals currently under active treatment for osteoporosis should discuss REMS results with their treating physician. REMS results do not replace DEXA scans required for insurance-mandated treatment monitoring.
Answer: REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) measures both bone density and bone quality using zero-radiation ultrasound. DEXA measures only bone mineral density using low-dose X-ray. When REMS arrives in Miami, FL, residents will have access to Fragility Score and 5-year fracture risk prediction that DEXA does not offer — with same-day results.

Expert Voices
Answer: Leading orthopedic surgeons, endocrinologists, and bone health specialists worldwide recognize REMS Echolight as a transformative advancement in bone health assessment. These independent medical experts use REMS technology in clinical practice and have publicly shared their perspective on its advantages over traditional DEXA scanning.
Dr. Doug Lucas, DO
Double Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon, Osteoporosis Specialist

“DEXA tells you the quantity of bone, but not the quality. I prefer REMS from Echolight to understand real fracture risk.”
Dr. Vonda Wright, MD
Double Board-Certified Orthopedic Sports Surgeon, Author of "Unbreakable"
Orlando, FL
“I would like all postmenopausal women to get a DEXA scan or a REMS ultrasound and actually know the status of their bones.”
Dr. Kimberly Zambito, MD
Attending Orthopedic Surgeon, Founder of Qualis Os, First US Physician to Introduce REMS
Newtown, PA
“REMS is 5 times more sensitive to BMD changes than DXA. The Fragility Score reflects the quality of bone — something DXA simply cannot measure.”
Dr. Andy Bush, MD, FAAOS
Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon, Founder of BoneForte, Most Experienced US REMS Provider
Sanford, NC
“What has been truly needed is a safe, radiation-free way to test bone strength and determine real fracture risk — this is exactly what REMS offers.”
Dr. Yevgeniya Kushchayeva, MD, PhD
Associate Professor of Endocrinology, University of South Florida / Tampa General Hospital
Tampa, FL
“Assessment of bone health is a multifaceted clinical process. REMS technology provides bone quality architecture data of direct value to clinicians planning treatment.”
Gary Rhodes, Founder of Screen My Bones®
Global Director at Performance Health Systems, Bone Health Technology Evangelist

“Osteoporosis is not a disease. It is a deconditioning of the bone — and like muscle, it can be reconditioned through proper intervention.”
Dr. Nick Birch, FRCS

FAQ
Answer: Common questions about the upcoming REMS bone health assessment in Miami, FL include how to join the waitlist, what REMS technology is, how it compares to DEXA, pricing, HSA/FSA eligibility, and who should consider a bone health screening.
We are actively working to bring REMS bone health assessments to Miami. Join our waitlist to receive priority access and be the first to know when we announce our opening date and location.
When 45 people join the waitlist for Miami, we schedule a REMS scanning event in the area. You can place a refundable $25 deposit that applies toward your scan cost, or simply sign up to be notified.
REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) is an FDA-cleared, radiation-free ultrasound technology that measures both bone mineral density and bone quality. Unlike DEXA scans, REMS uses no ionizing radiation and can be performed in approximately 20 minutes with same-day results.
DEXA scans use X-ray radiation and measure only bone mineral density (BMD). REMS uses ultrasound, involves zero radiation exposure, and measures both BMD and bone quality — providing a more complete picture of bone health. REMS also calculates a Fragility Score and 5-year fracture risk that DEXA does not offer.
No referral is required. You can book your REMS bone health assessment directly through our website. However, we recommend sharing your results with your primary care provider or specialist for integrated care.
REMS assessments are not typically covered by traditional health insurance. However, you can use HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) funds to pay for your assessment. We accept all major credit and debit cards.
