Each clinic sets its own pricing rather than Dexascans.com fixing a rate. Cash-pay DEXA around Libertyville usually falls in the $99-$250 range depending on whether you book body composition, bone density, or both. Many clinics accept HSA and FSA cards, and clinic pricing typically undercuts what Chicagoland hospital imaging departments bill.

Body composition scans need no referral, book directly and show up.

Self-pay bone density, at the clinic's own rate, involves no referral at all.

It depends on the type. Bone density DEXA is frequently covered when a physician documents medical necessity. Postmenopausal screening is the most common case.
