Frequently Asked Questions - Denver DEXA Scans

Where can I get a DEXA scan in Denver, CO?

We arrange DEXA scans for the Denver area at partner clinics conveniently located with easy access from LoDo, Capitol Hill, Cherry Creek, and LoHi. We serve clients from all Denver neighborhoods — Washington Park, Highlands, Stapleton, and surrounding suburbs like Aurora, Lakewood, and Arvada — with flexible appointment times Monday through Saturday. Book online or call us to schedule your body composition scan today.

How much does a DEXA scan cost in Denver?

DEXA scan pricing in Denver starts at $149 for a comprehensive body composition analysis. Our bone density test is $199, and our complete health package is $249. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees and accept HSA/FSA payments — significantly more affordable than hospital imaging centers at UCHealth, SCL Health, or Denver Health that typically charge $300 or more.

Why is DEXA scanning especially important for Denver athletes?

At Denver's altitude of 5,280 feet, your body works harder and athletic training demands are unique. Precise body composition data is critical for optimizing performance in this environment. Whether you're a skier heading to Vail or Breckenridge, a cyclist on the Front Range trails, or a runner at Washington Park, our partner clinics deliver clinical-grade body fat, lean muscle, and bone density measurements that account for the physiological demands of high-altitude training.

Do I need a referral for a DEXA scan in Denver?

No referral needed. Unlike imaging centers affiliated with UCHealth or Children's Hospital Colorado, you can book your DEXA scan directly with us for wellness and body composition purposes. We welcome self-referred clients and physician referrals from Denver-area doctors, personal trainers, and sports medicine professionals in LoDo, Cherry Creek, and the Denver Tech Center.

Is a DEXA scan safe? (Denver DEXA scanning)

Absolutely. Our Denver DEXA scans use extremely low-dose X-rays — less radiation than the increased cosmic radiation Denver residents absorb daily from living at altitude. The scan is completely painless, non-invasive, and takes just 10-15 minutes. It's safe for most adults and is the gold standard for body composition analysis.

How long does a DEXA scan take in Denver?

Your DEXA scan appointment at our partner clinic serving the Denver area takes about 30 minutes total, including check-in and results consultation. The actual scan is only 10-15 minutes — easy to schedule before a morning hike in Rocky Mountain National Park or after a workday in the Denver Tech Center.

Does insurance cover DEXA scans in Denver, Colorado?

Many insurance plans cover DEXA scans when medically necessary for bone density testing. Our partner clinics serving the Denver area accept HSA and FSA payments for all DEXA scan services. We also offer affordable self-pay options starting at $149. Anthem Blue Cross of Colorado, Cigna, and Kaiser Permanente Colorado plans often include bone density screening benefits.

What does a full body DEXA scan measure in Denver?

A full body DEXA scan at our partner clinic serving the Denver area measures total and regional body fat percentage, lean muscle mass distribution, visceral fat levels, and bone mineral density. Bone density is especially important for Denver athletes — high-impact sports like skiing, trail running, and cycling in the Rockies demand strong bones, and DEXA is the most accurate tool for monitoring your skeletal health.

How is DEXA different from InBody scans at Denver gyms?

Many Denver gyms and fitness studios like CrossFit Cherry Creek or Corepower Yoga offer InBody scans, but DEXA is the gold standard. InBody uses bioelectrical impedance which can vary by +/-5-8% based on hydration — a significant issue at altitude where Denver athletes may be chronically slightly dehydrated. DEXA uses X-ray technology for direct measurement with +/-1-2% accuracy, the same method used in clinical research at CU Anschutz Medical Campus.

Can I get same-day DEXA scan results in Denver?

Yes! At our Denver location, you'll receive your comprehensive DEXA scan results within 24 hours via email. For an additional fee, we offer expedited same-day results including body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, bone density T-scores, and personalized recommendations — perfect for Denver athletes optimizing their performance ahead of ski season or a summer endurance event.
