Highland Park sits along the Lake Michigan bluffs in Lake County, one of the North Shore's most affluent and communities. Between Metra commutes downtown on the Union Pacific North line, summers at the Ravinia Festival, and weekends on the trails at Rosewood Beach and Fort Sheridan, residents here take their fitness and longevity seriously. DexaFit Highland Park brings measured DEXA testing to the Route 41 / Skokie Valley Road corridor on the west side of town, giving locals a direct-book way to measure body fat, lean muscle, visceral fat, and bone density with the same technology hospitals use, without a referral for body composition.

Frequently Asked Questions - Highland Park DEXA Scans

Where can I get a DEXA scan in Highland Park, IL?

DexaFit Highland Park offers measured DEXA scans at 1923 Skokie Valley Road, on the Route 41 corridor on the west side of town. You can direct-book a body-composition scan with no referral needed. To schedule, text or call (786) 420-6630.

How much does a DEXA scan cost in Highland Park?

DexaFit Highland Park uses simple flat self-pay pricing: $149 for a body-composition scan, $199 for bone density, and $249 for the complete package that covers both. There are no hidden fees, and HSA/FSA cards are accepted.

Can I get body composition testing near Ravinia without a referral?

Yes. A body-composition DEXA scan is direct-book and requires no doctor's referral. From the Ravinia district it's a quick drive over to DexaFit Highland Park on Skokie Valley Road, text or call (786) 420-6630 to book a time.

How accurate is a DEXA scan compared to an InBody or home scale?

DEXA is the test the research uses for body composition, with roughly ±1–2% margin of error. Bioelectrical impedance devices like InBody scales typically run 5–8% off, which is why serious athletes and Highland Park residents choose DEXA at DexaFit for reliable tracking.

Is the radiation from a DEXA scan at DexaFit Highland Park safe?

Yes. A DEXA scan uses a very low radiation dose, roughly one-tenth of a standard chest X-ray. The scan itself takes about 10–15 minutes, and you're in and out of DexaFit Highland Park in around 30 minutes total.

Do I need a doctor's order for a bone-density scan in Highland Park?

It depends on the type. A body-composition DEXA that also reports bone density is direct-book at DexaFit with no referral. A separate insurance-billed diagnostic osteoporosis exam requires a physician order and is handled through hospital radiology, such as Endeavor Health Highland Park Hospital.

Does Medicare or insurance cover a DEXA scan in Highland Park?

Medicare covers screening DXA bone-density testing for qualifying patients through a physician-ordered diagnostic route at hospital radiology. DexaFit Highland Park's body-composition and self-pay scans are flat-rate ($149/$199/$249) and are payable with HSA/FSA funds.

How long does a DEXA scan take and when will I get results?

Plan on about 30 minutes at DexaFit Highland Park, with the actual scan lasting only 10–15 minutes. Your detailed results (body fat, lean mass, visceral fat, and bone density) are delivered within 24 hours.

I commute downtown on the Metra, is DexaFit Highland Park convenient?

Very. DexaFit sits on Skokie Valley Road near the Route 41 corridor, a short drive from the Highland Park, Ravinia, and Braeside UP-N stations. Many commuters book a scan around their train schedule; text or call (786) 420-6630 to find a slot that works.

Can athletes and active adults in Highland Park use DEXA to track progress?

Yes. Whether you're a runner on the Rosewood Beach trails, a tennis or golf regular, or training for an event, repeat DEXA scans at DexaFit Highland Park precisely track lean-muscle gains and fat loss over time, far more accurately than a scale or BIA device.
