Through Dexascans.com, a full body composition DEXA starts at $149, bone density testing is $199, and the complete health package, body composition plus bone density and visceral fat, is $249. HSA and FSA cards work, and pricing is flat: no facility fees layered on afterward, which is a real difference from hospital-based imaging.

Depends on the scan. Body composition testing is open booking, show up with nothing but an appointment. A bone density study you want billed to insurance typically needs a physician's order first, the same routine doctors affiliated with AdventHealth Parker follow for osteoporosis screening. Self-pay bone density at $199 requires no referral.

Bone density often is. Coverage usually applies when a physician documents medical necessity, like postmenopausal screening or monitoring bone medication. Body composition scans are wellness services, so plan on self-pay from $149. Both accept HSA/FSA payment, which covers the cost cleanly for many Douglas County families.

Yes. Each scan uses a tiny X-ray dose, around a tenth of a chest X-ray, so athletes commonly rescan every three to six months to track a training cycle. You lie fully clothed on an open table for 10-15 minutes; there's no tunnel, no contrast, and no recovery.

Total and regional body fat percentage, lean muscle in each limb and your trunk, visceral fat, and bone mineral density, one scan, one report. For a Cherry Creek Regional Trail cyclist or a rider out of Salisbury Regional Park's equestrian complex, it's every number that matters in a single appointment.

Roughly 30 minutes including check-in; the scan itself is 10-15 minutes, and results land within 24 hours. The Lioness Way office sits just off Lincoln Avenue, so it's an easy stop for I-25 corridor commuters heading to or from the Tech Center.

Bioimpedance readings drift 5-8% with hydration, noticeable in Colorado's dry air, where most people test at least mildly dehydrated. DEXA measures tissue directly with X-ray at about ±1-2% accuracy and adds two things no impedance scale offers: visceral fat and bone mineral density.

Yes. From downtown Parker and Rowley Downs, SimonMed Parker is about ten minutes via Parker Road and Lincoln Avenue; the Stonegate and Jordan Road communities are practically next door to the Lincoln Medical Center building. Even The Pinery, at the town's far south end, is around twenty minutes up Parker Road.

The Cherry Creek Regional Trail crowd, cyclists and runners logging car-free miles toward Denver, plus equestrians from Salisbury Regional Park, for whom bone density is a genuine safety metric, and masters athletes tracking lean mass year over year. DEXA turns each season into before-and-after data instead of a feeling.
