Check the two clinics listed on this page; each listing shows its address and phone number. Or text/call Dexascans.com at (786) 420-6630 and we'll schedule it for you.

Each clinic sets its own pricing rather than Dexascans.com fixing a rate, and the listings on this page show prices where clinics publish them. Cost depends on whether you book body composition, bone density, or both. HSA and FSA cards are often accepted for DEXA; confirm when you book.

Body composition scans need no referral, book directly and show up. Bone density is different only if insurance is paying: carriers generally require a physician's order, like those written by doctors affiliated with Advocate Condell for osteoporosis screening. Some clinics also offer self-pay bone density without a referral; ask when you book.

It depends on the type. Bone density DEXA is frequently covered when a physician documents medical necessity. Postmenopausal screening is the most common case. Body composition scans are considered wellness testing and are self-pay at clinic-set rates; the listings show prices where clinics publish them. HSA or FSA funds are often accepted for both.

Yes. The X-ray dose is roughly a tenth of a chest X-ray, well under a typical day of natural background exposure. You lie fully clothed on an open table for 10-15 minutes while the arm passes overhead. It's gentle enough that athletes repeat it every training season.

Total and regional body fat percentage, lean muscle in each arm, leg, and your trunk, visceral fat around the organs, and bone mineral density. For a Des Plaines River Trail runner or an Independence Grove cyclist, that's an entire training season's questions answered in one ten-minute scan.

Around 30 minutes door to door, with only 10-15 minutes on the table; ask about results timing when you book.

InBody-style bioimpedance devices infer composition from an electrical signal, so readings move 5-8% with hydration and timing. DEXA measures tissue directly with low-dose X-ray at about ±1-2% accuracy, and unlike any impedance scale, it also reports visceral fat and bone mineral density.

Check the listings on this page; each shows its address, so you can see which is closest to Mundelein, Vernon Hills, Green Oaks, and the rest of central Lake County. Text or call (786) 420-6630 and we'll confirm the soonest opening.

Independence Grove's lake loops and the Des Plaines River Trail build real weekly mileage, and Metra commuters to Chicago have little time to waste on guesswork. DEXA compresses the answer into one visit: lean mass by region, body fat, visceral fat, and the bone density data that distance athletes, and everyone past 50, shouldn't skip.
