Yes. Funcrew wanted a way to get examined in the US. Haven't got a way to do that. On the other hand, a few years back, it was nothing to call the lab in Munich, tell them I'd be in town on these days with my wife, and ask for an appointment for a DEXA scan. No prior approval, no messing with other doctors' offices. It should be said, though, all I got was the exam and lab report. I was on my own for figuring out what I needed to do if the results weren't what I wanted.
