Hialeah's listed clinic is Universal Imaging & Radiology at 14462 Commerce Way, off the Palmetto Expressway near the Hialeah Gardens line — an easy reach from Miami Lakes and West Hialeah. It's an independent imaging center, not ours; the listing on this page has the contact details to book directly, and no referral is needed for a body-composition scan. How much does a DEXA scan cost in Hialeah? Prices are set by each clinic, not by Dexascans.com — cash-pay DEXA in the Hialeah area typically runs $99–$250 depending on whether you want body composition, bone density, or both. That still usually undercuts Hialeah Hospital or Palmetto General imaging centers, which typically charge $350+ for comparable scans. Many clinics accept HSA/FSA; confirm when you book. What makes Hialeah a unique DEXA scan market in South Florida? Hialeah's large Cuban-American athletic community, the Hialeah Park fitness culture, and the competitive cycling scene along the Palmetto corridor make body composition tracking especially popular. The listing on this page covers Hialeah residents from Hialeah Gardens, Miami Lakes, and the surrounding Miami-Dade communities who demand precision a scale cannot reach from their health data. Do I need a doctor's referral for a DEXA scan in Hialeah? No referral needed. Unlike Hialeah Hospital or Palmetto General Medical Center imaging departments, self-referral is routine for body composition and wellness DEXA scans at the listed clinic. Physician referrals from Hialeah-area doctors work too, and plenty of local trainers and sports medicine practitioners throughout Miami-Dade County send clients in for scans. Is a DEXA scan safe in Hialeah? Yes. DEXA uses extremely low-dose X-ray radiation, under what a flight from Miami to New York. The scan is painless, non-invasive, and takes just 10-15 minutes. Safe for regular use by Hialeah athletes, fitness enthusiasts at Tropical Park, and professionals tracking body composition year-round. How long does a DEXA scan take in Hialeah? Your appointment takes about 30 minutes total, the scan itself is just 10-15 minutes. Quick enough for Hialeah commuters heading to Doral, Miami, or the airport corridor. Hours and slot availability are the clinic's own — ask about early morning or weekend timing when you book. Does insurance cover DEXA scans in Hialeah, Florida? Many plans cover bone density DEXA scans when medically indicated. Payment policies are each clinic's own — most accept HSA/FSA cards; ask when booking. Florida Blue, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare plans available to Miami-Dade County residents often include bone density screening benefits for eligible patients. What does a full body DEXA scan measure in Hialeah? A full body DEXA at the clinic listed for Hialeah measures total and regional body fat percentage, lean muscle mass by body segment (arms, legs, trunk), visceral fat levels, and bone mineral density. For Hialeah athletes, CrossFit competitors, and health-focused residents of Miami-Dade's northwest communities, this data provides the clinical precision to optimize training outcomes. How is DEXA different from InBody scans at Hialeah gyms? Many Hialeah gyms offer InBody BIA scans, but DEXA is the gold standard used in clinical research. InBody accuracy varies ±5-8% based on hydration, a real issue in South Florida's heat. DEXA measures tissue directly using X-ray with ±1-2% accuracy, regardless of hydration status or when you last ate. Can I get same-day DEXA results in Hialeah? Turnaround varies by clinic — many deliver results within 24 hours via email, including body fat percentage, muscle mass by region, visceral fat score, and bone density T-scores. Ask about timing when you book. For Hialeah athletes tracking off-season gains or Miami-Dade professionals monitoring health benchmarks, this data is immediately actionable. ## Where to Get a DEXA Scan in Hialeah Showing the clinic with verified map coordinates in the Hialeah area. - ### Universal Imaging & Radiology 14462 Commerce Way Hialeah, FL 33016 Call to confirm current hours [Check Availability](sms:+17864206630?body=I%20would%20like%20to%20book%20a%20Dexa%20scan%20in%20Hialeah%2C%20FL) [Check Availability (opens in a new tab)](https://dexascan.com/pages/locations?sca_ref=12064492.8DdjhF7qSFMQF&sca_source=dexascans_fl_hialeah&stockist-query=Hialeah%20FL) [Directions (opens in a new tab)](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Universal%20Imaging%20%26%20Radiology%2C%2014462%20Commerce%20Way%2C%20Hialeah%2C%20FL%2C%2033016) ## DEXA Scans in Nearby Cities - [DEXA Scan in Miami, FL](/fl/miami) - [DEXA Scan in North Miami, FL](/fl/north-miami) - [DEXA Scan in Coral Gables, FL](/fl/coral-gables) [👉 Choose a location in Hialeah](sms:+17864206630?body=I%20would%20like%20to%20book%20a%20Dexa%20scan%20in%20Hialeah%2C%20FL) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Organization", "@id": "https://www.dexascans.com/#organization", "name": "Dexascans.com", "url": "https://www.dexascans.com", "logo": "https://www.dexascans.com/favicon.png" }, { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "MedicalWebPage", "@id": "https://www.dexascans.com/fl/hialeah/#webpage", "url": "https://www.dexascans.com/fl/hialeah", "name": "DEXA Scan in Hialeah, FL | Body Composition & Bone Density", "description": "DEXA Scanning in Hialeah.
