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

No referral needed. Unlike imaging centers affiliated with UF Health Jacksonville, Baptist Health, or Ascension St. Vincent's, you can book your DEXA scan directly with us for wellness and body composition purposes. We welcome self-referred clients and physician referrals from Jacksonville-area doctors and personal trainers throughout Duval, Clay, and St. Johns Counties.

Is a DEXA scan safe? (Jacksonville DEXA scanning)

Absolutely. Our Jacksonville DEXA scans use extremely low-dose X-rays — far less radiation than a standard chest X-ray or a long-distance flight. The scan is completely painless, non-invasive, and takes just 10-15 minutes. It's safe for most adults and is the standard used by the military and VA health systems, making it a familiar and trusted tool for Jacksonville's large veteran and active-duty community.

How long does a DEXA scan take in Jacksonville?

Your DEXA scan appointment at our Jacksonville clinic takes about 30 minutes total, including check-in and results consultation. The actual scan is only 10-15 minutes — easy to fit into a workday schedule from downtown, Southside, or the Beaches area.

Does insurance cover DEXA scans in Jacksonville, Florida?

Many insurance plans cover DEXA scans when medically necessary for bone density testing. Our Jacksonville clinic accepts HSA and FSA payments for all services. Florida Blue (Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida), Aetna, Cigna, and Tricare (for military families) often include bone density screening benefits for eligible Duval County patients.

What does a full body DEXA scan measure in Jacksonville?

A full body DEXA scan at our Jacksonville clinic measures total and regional body fat percentage, lean muscle mass distribution, visceral fat levels, and bone mineral density. For Jacksonville's military community, NAS JAX athletes, Riverside runners, and Ponte Vedra Beach triathletes, this comprehensive data provides the clinical precision to optimize training and health in one of Florida's most athletically diverse cities.

How is DEXA different from InBody scans at Jacksonville gyms?

Many Jacksonville gyms and CrossFit boxes offer InBody BIA scans, but DEXA is the gold standard. InBody uses bioelectrical impedance which can vary by +/-5-8% based on hydration — an issue in Jacksonville's humid summers. DEXA uses X-ray technology for direct measurement with +/-1-2% accuracy, the same method used in clinical research and military fitness assessment. DEXA is the standard trusted by the Navy at NAS Jacksonville and sports medicine physicians throughout the First Coast.

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

Yes! At our Jacksonville location, you'll receive your comprehensive DEXA scan results within 24 hours via email. Your report includes body fat percentage, lean muscle mass by region, bone density T-scores, and visceral fat measurements — clear, actionable data for Jacksonville's athletes, military personnel, and health-focused professionals throughout Duval County.
