Each clinic sets its own price. Cash-pay DEXA scans typically run $99–$250 depending on the location and whether you want body composition, bone density, or both — hospital imaging departments often charge $300 or more for a comparable scan. Most partner clinics accept HSA/FSA payments; confirm the exact price when you book. How accurate is a DEXA scan? DEXA is considered the gold standard for body composition testing, with accuracy of ±1-2% for body fat measurement. This is significantly more accurate than bioelectrical impedance (InBody, smart scales) which can vary by 5-8% depending on hydration. How often should I get a DEXA scan? For body composition tracking, we recommend every 3-4 months to measure meaningful changes. Getting scanned more frequently than 6-8 weeks won't show significant differences and isn't necessary for most people. For bone density monitoring, annually or every 2 years is typical. Is a DEXA scan safe? What about radiation? Yes, DEXA scans are very safe. The radiation exposure is extremely low—about 1/10th of a chest X-ray, or less than a day's worth of natural background radiation. The benefits of the information gained far outweigh this minimal exposure. Do I need a doctor's referral for a DEXA scan? No referral is needed for body composition scans at the listed clinics. You can book directly. For bone density scans to be covered by insurance, a referral may be required—check with your insurance provider. How long does a DEXA scan take? The scan itself takes about 10-15 minutes. Your total appointment, including check-in and results review, is approximately 20-30 minutes. How should I prepare for my DEXA scan? Wear comfortable clothes without metal (athletic wear is perfect). Stay normally hydrated. Avoid heavy exercise on the day of your scan. No fasting required, but try to scan at a similar time of day for comparison scans. What's the difference between DEXA and InBody? DEXA uses X-ray technology to directly measure bone, fat, and lean tissue with high accuracy (±1-2%). InBody uses bioelectrical impedance (BIA), which estimates body composition based on how electricity flows through your body—results can vary significantly (±3-5%) based on hydration, food intake, and other factors. Does insurance cover DEXA scans? Insurance typically covers bone density DEXA scans when medically indicated (usually with a doctor's referral for osteoporosis screening). Body composition scans for fitness/wellness purposes are generally not covered by insurance and are paid out-of-pocket. Most scans are HSA/FSA eligible. ## Find your scan in about a minute 511 verified locations. Cash prices up front. You book straight with the clinic.
