Each clinic sets its own rates; Dexascans.com doesn't price scans. Cash-pay DEXA in the Chamblee area typically runs $99-$250 depending on whether you want body composition, bone density, or both, with HSA/FSA cards accepted at most locations. That's typically well under what hospital imaging departments around the Perimeter charge for comparable scans.

A single ten-minute pass measures body fat percentage, lean muscle mass by region (arms, legs, trunk), bone mineral density with T-scores, and, in the complete package, visceral fat, the deep abdominal fat tied to metabolic risk. It's one snapshot of everything a scale, a mirror, and a gym test can only guess at.

Yes, meaningfully. InBody and other bioimpedance devices estimate composition from an electrical signal, and results can swing 5-8% with hydration. Easy to do after a summer run on the Chamblee Rail Trail or a salty Buford Highway dinner the night before. DEXA measures tissue directly via low-dose X-ray, accurate to about ±1-2% regardless of what you ate or drank.

No referral is needed for a body composition scan, book directly through Dexascans.com. A physician's order comes into play only if you want a bone density scan billed to insurance for osteoporosis screening; self-pay bone density scans generally require no paperwork at all.

Bone density DXA is often covered when a physician (for example, one affiliated with Emory Saint Joseph's or Northside Hospital just around the Perimeter) orders it as medically necessary, and Medicare covers screening bone density scans. Body composition testing is self-pay wellness, priced by each clinic (typically $99-$250) and usually payable with HSA/FSA funds.

About 30 minutes door to door, with 10-15 minutes of actual table time, short enough to fit into a lunch break from a Peachtree Boulevard office or before a PDK departure. Ask when you book how soon your results report will be ready.

Very little, roughly one-tenth of a chest X-ray, which is less than a normal day of natural background radiation. The scan is painless and non-invasive, and it's safe to repeat every few months to track a training block or a recomposition goal.

Chamblee is one of the most transit-friendly suburbs in metro Atlanta: MARTA's Gold Line stops at Chamblee station, and the Chamblee Rail Trail links Keswick Park to the station area. Drivers exit I-285 at Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. Check each listing's address on this page to plan your route.

The young professionals along Dresden Drive and near the MARTA station tracking recomposition; food lovers who work the Buford Highway corridor and want real data instead of scale anxiety; masters athletes on the Rail Trail; and adults 50+ screening bone density close to home rather than trekking to a hospital campus. Text (786) 420-6630 and we'll match the right scan to your goal.
