DexaFit Central MS, at 660 Lakeland East Drive, Suite 106 in Flowood, MS, runs DEXA scans for the Flowood area. Call (601) 340-9323 or book through Dexascans.com to schedule your appointment. How much does a DEXA scan cost in Flowood? There is no single Flowood price: clinics publish their own rates, and cash-pay DEXA scans generally land between $99 and $250 by scan type. That still usually undercuts the $300-plus hospital imaging departments bill for comparable scans. Ask the clinic for its current rate when scheduling — HSA/FSA funds work at most. Do I need a referral for a DEXA scan in Flowood? Only if you want insurance to pay. Self-pay booking at DexaFit Central MS needs no referral for either scan type; an insurance-billed bone density exam does need your physician to order it first. Does insurance cover DEXA scans in Flowood, Mississippi? Often, yes, but only for bone density. If a physician orders the scan as medically necessary, say after a referral from a doctor at a Rankin County health system like Merit Health River Oaks & Merit Health Woman's Hospital, insurance usually covers it. Body composition scans booked for fitness reasons are self-pay. HSA and FSA cards work for both. Is a DEXA scan safe in Flowood? Yes. Nothing is injected and nothing encloses you: at DexaFit Central MS you lie on an open table for 10-15 minutes while the scanner arm passes overhead. The X-ray dose is roughly a tenth of a chest X-ray. What does a full body DEXA scan measure in Flowood? One scan in Flowood produces your body fat percentage, a limb-by-limb lean mass breakdown, a visceral fat reading, and bone mineral density. That combination is why a DEXA report replaces a stack of separate measurements, including the bone-density study a Merit Health River Oaks & Merit Health Woman's Hospital physician would order on its own. How long does a DEXA scan appointment take in Flowood? Plan on 30 minutes in Flowood — check-in, then 10-15 minutes on the table at DexaFit Central MS. Results follow within 24 hours, so a morning scan is a next-day answer. What is the difference between a DXA scan and a DEXA scan? No difference at all. "DXA" is the abbreviation radiology departments like Merit Health River Oaks & Merit Health Woman's Hospital use; "DEXA" is the one patients search for. Both name dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and both describe what you would book in Flowood. ## 3 DEXA Scan Locations in Flowood Imaging and body-composition facilities across the Flowood metro.
