Unlike imaging centers affiliated with Bayfront Health St. Petersburg or HCA Florida Northside Hospital, you can book your DEXA scan directly with us for body composition and wellness purposes. We welcome self-referred clients and referrals from Pinellas County physicians and personal trainers throughout St. Pete, Largo, and Clearwater.
Is a DEXA scan safe? (St. Petersburg DEXA scanning)
Yes, and this is the most common question we get. DEXA scans at partner clinics serving St. Pete use extremely low-dose X-rays, far less radiation than a standard chest X-ray or a day on St. Pete Beach. The scan is completely painless, non-invasive, and takes just 10-15 minutes. It's safe for consistent monitoring across the Pinellas Trail cycling seasons.
How long does a DEXA scan take in St. Pete?
Your DEXA scan appointment at our partner clinic serving the St. Pete area takes about 30 minutes total, including check-in and results consultation. The actual scan is only 10-15 minutes, easy to fit into your schedule before a waterfront run or after a morning on the Pinellas Trail.
Does insurance cover DEXA scans in St. Petersburg, Florida?
Many insurance plans cover DEXA scans when medically necessary for bone density testing. Our partner clinics serving the St. Pete area accept HSA and FSA payments for all DEXA scan services. Florida Blue, Aetna, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare plans often include bone density screening benefits for eligible Pinellas County patients.

How is DEXA different from InBody scans at St. Pete gyms?
Many St. Pete gyms offer InBody BIA scans, but DEXA is the reference standard. InBody uses bioelectrical impedance which can vary by +/-5-8% based on hydration, a real issue for active St. Pete residents who sweat year-round. DEXA uses X-ray technology for direct tissue measurement with +/-1-2% accuracy regardless of hydration. This is the research standard endorsed by St. Petersburg's health and wellness community.

Yes! At our St. Petersburg location, you'll receive your comprehensive DEXA scan results within 24 hours via email.
