DEXA Scans in Warsaw, IN

Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital at 2101 E. DuBois Drive offers DEXA scanning with radiology-certified technologists trained in bone density analysis. Dexascans.com handles the scheduling for you, text or call (786) 420-6630 and we'll set up your appointment.

Booked through Dexascans.com, a body composition scan runs $149, a bone density test is $199, and the complete health package (body composition, bone density, and visceral fat) is $249. HSA and FSA cards are accepted, and there's no membership or subscription involved.

For body composition testing, yes, it's a self-pay wellness scan and no referral is needed. A bone density test billed to insurance typically requires a physician's order documenting medical necessity, though you can also simply self-pay the $199 through Dexascans.com and skip the paperwork.

Often, yes. Bone density DXA is commonly covered when a physician's order documents medical necessity, and Medicare covers screening DXA for qualifying patients, relevant in a county with a large 65+ population around the lakes. Body composition scans are considered wellness testing and are self-pay.

The dose is tiny, roughly one-tenth of a standard chest X-ray, which is less radiation than you absorb from ordinary background sources in a single day. That low exposure is why physicians order repeat scans every year or two to track bone density trends over time.

Three things Warsaw's implant engineers would appreciate: bone mineral density with T-scores and Z-scores, total and regional body composition (lean mass versus fat mass, limb by limb), and visceral fat around your organs. It's the clinical reference standard, the same measurement class used in osteoporosis diagnosis and orthopedic research.

Plan on about 30 minutes door to door, with only 10-15 minutes of actual table time. You lie still, fully clothed, while the scanner arm passes over you. Results come back within 24 hours through Dexascans.com.

By a wide margin. Bioimpedance devices like InBody estimate composition from electrical conductivity and can swing 5-8% based on hydration alone, while DEXA measures tissue directly with ±1-2% precision. It also adds bone density and visceral fat, two numbers no gym scale reports.

Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital sits on DuBois Drive just south of the US 30 corridor on Warsaw's east side, about five minutes from the courthouse square and less than a mile east of Pike Lake. Coming from Winona Lake or the Grace College campus, it's a quick drive north. Free hospital parking is available on the campus.

Women 65 and older are the headline group, along with postmenopausal women with risk factors, men over 70, and anyone on long-term steroids. In Warsaw specifically, ortho-industry professionals, Grace College athletes tracking lean mass, and lake-country retirees who want to stay active all book DEXA scans. Text or call (786) 420-6630 to schedule.
