DEXA Scans in West Palm Beach, FL

Two published clinics appear on this page: RAYUS Radiology-West Palm Beach at 1572 Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard, Suite 2 near the downtown core, and NuHx at 8140 Okeechobee Blvd out west. Downtown, Flagler Drive, and Northwood sit closest to the RAYUS office, while the western communities along Okeechobee Boulevard feed naturally to NuHx. Book with whichever clinic suits you — their verified details are in the listings below.

Neither price comes from us — each Palm Beach County clinic bills independently, and Dexascans.com simply helps you compare and book with them. Expect cash-pay DEXA to fall somewhere in the $99–$250 range depending on clinic and scan type; RAYUS and NuHx can quote exact figures when you call. HSA/FSA acceptance is common but clinic-specific, so ask.

From Flagler Drive's waterfront running and cycling to the boutique studios spreading through Clematis Street and Northwood, West Palm Beach trains outdoors nearly year-round. Both listed clinics use medical-grade DEXA accurate to within 1-2% for body fat, lean muscle, and bone density. Choose by location and booking experience — the same gold-standard measurement is available at either.

A cash-pay body composition scan needs no referral — contact RAYUS or NuHx and book on your own. Bone density testing billed to insurance is different: that usually requires a physician's order, which Palm Beach County doctors write routinely for osteoporosis screening. Either way, the appointment is between you and the clinic.

Yes — DEXA's X-ray dose is a tiny fraction of a chest X-ray's, low enough that clinicians rely on it for repeat screening without hesitation. The test is non-invasive and painless, roughly 10-15 minutes lying still, with no injection or contrast.

Figure 10-15 minutes for the scan and some margin for check-in; total time depends on the clinic you choose. Hours vary by clinic — the listings on this page show verified details, and a quick call beats guessing before a downtown workday or a Flagler Drive morning run.

Medically necessary bone density DXA is frequently covered with a physician's order — Florida Blue, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare Advantage plans often include screening benefits for eligible Palm Beach County patients, and traditional Medicare covers screening DXA for those who qualify. Body composition scans are usually self-pay; direct billing questions to the clinic you book with.

A full body DEXA reports total and regional body fat percentage, lean muscle distribution, visceral fat, and bone mineral density in one appointment. That serves the county's whole spectrum — Intracoastal runners and Flagler Drive cyclists tracking composition alongside a sizable retiree population watching T-scores year over year.

Fitness studios across Palm Beach County offer InBody scans, which estimate composition from electrical resistance and can wander +/-5-8% with hydration. DEXA measures tissue directly with X-rays and repeats to within +/-1-2% — the standard that sports-medicine and orthopedic practices reference. If you plan to re-test and compare over time, that stability is what you're after.

Most partner clinics email a complete report — body fat percentage, regional lean mass, bone density T-scores, visceral fat — within about 24 hours. Turnaround is set by the clinic, so if you're on a deadline, ask RAYUS or NuHx about timing when you book.
