Often, yes. Bone density scans are commonly covered when a physician's order documents medical necessity, and Medicare covers screening DXA. Body composition scans are self-pay wellness services, which is why Dexascans.com prices them flat at $149.

No. A DEXA scan delivers roughly one-tenth the radiation of a chest X-ray, under what a normal day of background exposure. It's considered safe enough to repeat periodically for tracking.

Three things in one pass: bone mineral density, body composition (lean muscle and fat, region by region), and visceral fat, the deep abdominal fat linked to metabolic risk. It's the same technology hospitals use for osteoporosis diagnosis.

Plan on about 30 minutes door to door, with only 10-15 minutes on the table. You lie still, fully clothed, while the scanner passes over you; results are delivered within 24 hours.

InBody and similar bioimpedance devices estimate body fat from an electrical signal, and readings can swing 5-8% with hydration. DEXA measures tissue directly with X-ray at roughly ±1-2% accuracy. And adds bone density and visceral fat, which no gym scale can report.
