Through Dexascans.com, a comprehensive body composition scan starts at $149, bone density testing is $199, and the complete package (body composition, bone density, and visceral fat) is $249. HSA/FSA cards are accepted, and the flat published pricing typically beats Johnson County hospital imaging rates.

For body composition, no, book directly and walk in. For bone density billed to insurance, expect to need a physician's order first, the same routine doctors affiliated with Olathe Hospital follow for osteoporosis screening. Self-pay bone density at $199 requires no referral at all.

Bone density frequently is, when a physician documents medical necessity such as postmenopausal screening, Medicare and most plans cover it. Body composition scans are wellness services and self-pay from $149. Both accept HSA and FSA payment, a clean use of those funds for many Johnson County families.

Very. Each scan delivers about a tenth of a chest X-ray's dose, under what an ordinary day of background radiation. You're on an open table, fully clothed, for 10-15 minutes. Athletes tracking a training cycle rescan every three to six months without a second thought.

Total and regional body fat percentage, lean muscle mass in each arm, leg, and the trunk, visceral fat, and bone mineral density, measured directly rather than estimated. It's the clinical version of the numbers your Garmin guesses at, which lands differently in the town where those devices are designed.

Plan on roughly 30 minutes including check-in; the scan is 10-15 minutes and full results arrive within 24 hours. Both the 135th Street and Mur-Len Road locations sit on Olathe's everyday retail corridors, so most residents can fold it into a normal errand run.

Because impedance devices bend with hydration, 5-8% swings are common, while DEXA reads tissue directly at about ±1-2% accuracy. DEXA also reports visceral fat and bone mineral density, neither of which any gym scale can measure. If you calibrate your training by your wearable, DEXA is how you calibrate the wearable.

Yes, Garmin's world headquarters on E 151st St is about a ten-minute drive from both clinics. DexaFit Kansas City on 135th Street is the closest for most of east Olathe, and Diagnostic Imaging Centers on Mur-Len is minutes further. Text (786) 420-6630 and we'll get you scheduled.

Runners and cyclists on the Indian Creek, Cedar Creek, and Mill Creek streamway trails; MidAmerica Nazarene athletes and the competitive teams across Olathe's five public high schools; and masters lifters confirming a recomposition actually happened. DEXA turns each season into before-and-after data, lean mass by limb, fat by region, bone density over time.
