Body Composition Testing in Fort Collins, a University Town That Trains
The 2 clinics listed further down this page run that scan for Fort Collins, covering 2 ZIP codes across the area. A DEXA scan measures your body fat percentage, how much lean muscle you carry in each limb, the visceral fat around your organs, and your bone mineral density. It takes about 10 minutes and you get the numbers in writing.
Few Colorado cities blend campus and outdoors like Fort Collins, where Colorado State University sits a short ride from Horsetooth Reservoir, Lory State Park, and the Cache la Poudre River canyon. Larimer County's largest city moves by bike, with the Spring Creek and Poudre River trails linking Old Town's breweries to CSU and the neighborhoods beyond. The DEXA clinics listed on this page give students, faculty, and community members alike access to the same measurement standard used in the scientific literature: body fat, lean mass, and bone density quantified rather than guessed. With UCHealth Poudre Valley Hospital anchoring medical care in town, Fort Collins residents can treat DEXA as both a performance tool and a preventive health checkpoint.

Frequently Asked Questions - Fort Collins DEXA Scans
Where can I get a DEXA scan in Fort Collins, CO?
Colorado State University (HPCRL), at 910 Moby Drive in Fort Collins, CO, runs DEXA scans for the Fort Collins area. Call (970) 491-3847 to schedule your appointment.
How much does a DEXA scan cost in Fort Collins?
There is no single Fort Collins price: clinics publish their own rates, and cash-pay DEXA scans generally land between $99 and $250 by scan type. That still usually undercuts the $300-plus hospital imaging departments bill for comparable scans. Ask the clinic for its current rate when scheduling — HSA/FSA funds work at most.
Do I need a referral for a DEXA scan in Fort Collins?
Mostly when you want insurance to pay: an insurance-billed bone density exam needs your physician to order it first. Self-pay scans usually need no referral in Fort Collins, but ask when you book, since some hospital departments require one.
Does insurance cover DEXA scans in Fort Collins, Colorado?
Often, yes, but only for bone density. If a physician orders the scan as medically necessary, say after a referral from a doctor at a health system in Larimer County like UCHealth Poudre Valley Hospital, insurance usually covers it. Body composition scans booked for fitness reasons are self-pay. HSA and FSA cards work for both.
Is a DEXA scan safe in Fort Collins?
Yes. Nothing is injected and nothing encloses you: at Colorado State University (HPCRL) you lie on an open table for 10-15 minutes while the scanner arm passes overhead. The X-ray dose is roughly a tenth of a chest X-ray.
What does a full body DEXA scan measure in Fort Collins?
Where a Fort Collins clinic offers body composition as well as bone density, one scan produces your body fat percentage, a limb-by-limb lean mass breakdown, a visceral fat reading, and bone mineral density. That combination is why a DEXA report replaces a stack of separate measurements, including the bone-density study a UCHealth Poudre Valley Hospital physician would order on its own.
How long does a DEXA scan appointment take in Fort Collins?
Plan on 30 minutes in Fort Collins — check-in, then 10-15 minutes on the table at Colorado State University (HPCRL). Results usually follow within a day or two.
What is the difference between a DXA scan and a DEXA scan?
No difference at all. "DXA" is the abbreviation radiology departments like UCHealth Poudre Valley Hospital use; "DEXA" is the one patients search for. Both name dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and both describe what you would book in Fort Collins.
