Pricing is each clinic's own; Dexascans.com doesn't set it, and the listings on this page show prices where clinics publish them. Cost depends on whether you book body composition, bone density, or a complete package. HSA and FSA cards are often accepted for DEXA; confirm the rate and payment options when you book.

Check the listings on this page; each shows its address, so you can map the drive from Westfield Garden State Plaza on Route 4. A whole-body DEXA scan breaks down fat mass, lean muscle, and visceral fat with roughly ±1-2% accuracy, much tighter than the 5-8% error of InBody or scale-based bioimpedance.

Usually not for body composition. A self-pay body-composition DEXA is generally a direct-book wellness scan you can schedule yourself; confirm with your clinic. An insurance-billed diagnostic bone-density exam for osteoporosis is different: that requires a physician's order and runs through hospital radiology, such as Valley Health or Bergen New Bridge.

Yes. A DEXA scan uses a very low dose of radiation, roughly one-tenth that of a standard chest X-ray. The scan itself takes about 10-15 minutes (around 30 minutes total), and you stay fully clothed on an open table.

Turnaround varies by clinic, so ask when you book. Given how tight schedules are for NYC-commuting Paramus professionals, it's worth confirming when your body-composition or bone-density report will be ready before you schedule.

A body-composition DEXA is a self-pay wellness service, priced by each clinic; the listings on this page show prices where clinics publish them. Medicare covers screening DXA for bone density for qualifying patients, but that diagnostic exam requires a physician's order and is handled through hospital radiology at systems like Valley Health, not a direct-book body-composition scan.

An InBody or bathroom-scale bioimpedance device estimates body fat by passing a small current through your body, with a typical error of 5-8%. A DEXA scan uses dual-energy X-ray to measure fat, lean mass, and bone directly at roughly ±1-2% accuracy, the standard fitness and longevity enthusiasts in Bergen County rely on.

Some wellness clinics offer a self-pay bone-density DEXA reading; check the listings on this page and ask each clinic whether it does. If you need a formal diagnostic osteoporosis exam billed to insurance or Medicare, that is a separate hospital-radiology route requiring a physician's order through a system like Valley Health or Bergen New Bridge.

Bergen County's blue laws keep most Paramus retail closed on Sundays, so town traffic is noticeably lighter then, while weekdays bring the Route 17 and Route 4 rush. Check which days each clinic is open when you call or text (786) 420-6630 to book a time that fits your schedule.
