DEXA Scans in Clinton, MD

Clinton carries two published centers from RadNet's Community Radiology network: Community Radiology - Heritage at 8926 Woodyard Road, Suite 301, and Community Radiology - Clinton at 9131 Piscataway Rd — both reachable at (888) 601-0943. Text or call Dexascans.com at (786) 420-6630 and we'll book the closer one.

Self-pay through Dexascans.com: $149 for body composition, $199 for a bone-density test, $249 for the complete package with visceral fat. HSA and FSA payments are accepted, and flat pricing means no surprise facility charges afterward.

For insurance-billed diagnostic DXA at either Community Radiology center, yes — that's the standard workflow, and MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center physicians order these routinely. Self-pay booking through Dexascans.com skips the order entirely.

Bone-density DXA ordered as medically necessary is widely covered — Medicare pays for screening in qualifying adults, typically women 65+ and men 70+. Fitness-oriented body-composition scans are self-pay from $149 and HSA/FSA eligible.

Yes — the dose is on the order of one-tenth of a chest X-ray, below a single day of natural background radiation. The exam is open-table and painless, with 10-15 minutes of scan time.

Roughly 30 minutes at either the Woodyard Road or Piscataway Road center, with results from self-pay Dexascans.com bookings delivered within 24 hours. Both sit minutes off MD-5, so the visit folds into a Branch Avenue commute.

Diagnostic DXA — the exam both Clinton centers perform — measures bone mineral density at the hip and spine to stage fracture risk. Full-body composition DEXA adds limb-by-limb fat and lean-muscle mapping plus visceral fat, the version most useful for fitness standards and training.

Yes — bioimpedance estimates swing 5-8% with hydration and timing, while DEXA measures tissue directly at about ±1-2%. If a number decides anything — a fitness standard, a medication decision, a training block's verdict — it should come from DEXA.

Yes — both Clinton centers are under ten minutes from the Andrews gates via MD-5 and Woodyard Road, and Camp Springs and the Branch Avenue Metro area are about ten minutes north. Fort Washington, Friendly, Accokeek, and Cheltenham all reach a center within roughly fifteen minutes.

Airmen and Guardians get clinical-grade body-fat numbers for fitness standards — far more precise than tape — while the community's older adults get the osteoporosis screening MedStar Southern Maryland physicians recommend. Same scanners, both covered: text or call (786) 420-6630.
