The listings on this page carry the clinic's contact details so you can confirm the exact figure before you schedule. HSA and FSA payments are accepted at most locations. Do I need a referral for a DEXA scan in Helena? Not for a body composition scan — you can book that at Intuition Health directly. A bone density scan billed to insurance usually needs a physician's order, though if you pay cash for it, no referral is required either. Does insurance cover DEXA scans in Helena, Montana?

The scan itself runs 10-15 minutes. Your results report arrives within 24 hours. What is the difference between a DXA scan and a DEXA scan? Nothing. Both stand for dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
