Updates and locations of Fibroscan??

I live in Port St Lucie, Florida, considered the Treasure Coast. I am going to have my second liver biopsy in 2 weeks. The first one hurt me so bad I have always said I'd rather die than to have another one. Well now I have to have another one and I'm not looking forward to it. They tell me they will use Versed so I won't remember the the pain, but that is worrisome too. I'd much prefer the Fibroscan! If anyone has any new info on this procedure please let me know! Has it been approved or are they still doing trials? I heard there is a Dr. Schiff in Miami that does them? Are the insurance companies covering this yet? Any info would be helpful!!

Is anyone still watching this thread?  I'm a bit late to the party (4/16/14) but I have info re: Fibroscan.  My husband is the sales rep for FibroScan in Florida.  Coincidentally Hopelyn, we too live in PSL.  FDA approval was last April 2013. Not too many out there yet but the list grows daily.  I won't drone on with  specifics of where they are, etc unless I see anyone is still following this question.   Hope I can be of help.
