Few Midwest cities have grown faster than Ankeny, which has transformed from a Des Moines satellite into a Polk County city of its own, with the Prairie Trail development filling in its center and the Uptown district keeping its original main-street core. Cyclists know Ankeny as the southern gateway to the High Trestle Trail, and Des Moines Area Community College's main campus gives the city a large student population. Ankeny's published DEXA option is New Day Health & Hormones at 2575 N Ankeny Boulevard, on the city's main north-south artery, where body composition scanning supports hormone and metabolic health care. For a city full of young families, trail riders, and commuters heading down I-35 to Des Moines, that means clinical-grade body fat, muscle, and bone density measurement without leaving town.

Frequently Asked Questions - Ankeny DEXA Scans
Where can I get a DEXA scan in Ankeny, IA?
New Day Health & Hormones, at 2575 N Ankeny Blvd, #201 in Ankeny, IA, runs DEXA scans for the Ankeny area. Book through Dexascans.com to schedule your appointment.
How much does a DEXA scan cost in Ankeny?
Three flat prices for Ankeny: $149 body composition, $199 bone density, $249 for the combined package with visceral fat. That is what you pay booking through Dexascans.com — no facility fee on top — and HSA/FSA funds are accepted.
Do I need a referral for a DEXA scan in Ankeny?
Only if you want insurance to pay. Self-pay booking at New Day Health & Hormones needs no referral for either scan type; an insurance-billed bone density exam does need your physician to order it first.
Does insurance cover DEXA scans in Ankeny, Iowa?
Often, yes, but only for bone density. If a physician orders the scan as medically necessary, say after a referral from a doctor at a Polk County health system like UnityPoint Health & MercyOne (Des Moines metro), insurance usually covers it. Body composition scans booked for fitness reasons are self-pay. HSA and FSA cards work for both.
Is a DEXA scan safe in Ankeny?
Yes. Nothing is injected and nothing encloses you: at New Day Health & Hormones you lie on an open table for 10-15 minutes while the scanner arm passes overhead. The X-ray dose is roughly a tenth of a chest X-ray.
What does a full body DEXA scan measure in Ankeny?
One scan in Ankeny produces your body fat percentage, a limb-by-limb lean mass breakdown, a visceral fat reading, and bone mineral density. That combination is why a DEXA report replaces a stack of separate measurements, including the bone-density study a UnityPoint Health & MercyOne (Des Moines metro) physician would order on its own.
How long does a DEXA scan appointment take in Ankeny?
Plan on 30 minutes in Ankeny — check-in, then 10-15 minutes on the table at New Day Health & Hormones. Results follow within 24 hours, so a morning scan is a next-day answer.
What is the difference between a DXA scan and a DEXA scan?
No difference at all. "DXA" is the abbreviation radiology departments like UnityPoint Health & MercyOne (Des Moines metro) use; "DEXA" is the one patients search for. Both name dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and both describe what you would book in Ankeny.
