Do you need a referral?

Published body composition appointments in these selected listings cost $130 to $195. These are dated examples, not a city-wide price range. See the table for each source and check date, and confirm what is included before booking.
Can I book without a referral?
Booking requirements depend on the provider and examination. The referral section quotes the position published by each listed clinic, with a source and date. Where the position is not stated, ask the clinic rather than assuming a referral is unnecessary.
Does body composition include diagnostic bone density?
Do not assume these appointments are interchangeable. Check whether the booking is for whole-body composition or a diagnostic hip and spine assessment. Give the clinic the wording on your referral if you have one.
