A bone density test is $199, and the complete health package (body composition plus bone density and visceral fat assessment) is $249. Pricing is transparent with no hidden fees, and HSA/FSA payments are accepted.
Do I need a referral for a DEXA scan in New York City?
No referral is needed for a body composition DEXA scan — you can book directly. If you want a bone density scan billed to insurance, a physician's order is usually required; self-pay bone density scans need no referral.
Does insurance cover DEXA scans in New York City, New York?
Bone density DEXA scans are often covered by insurance when ordered by a physician as medically necessary — for example following a referral from a doctor affiliated with a New York County health system such as NYU Langone, Mount Sinai & NewYork-Presbyterian. Body composition scans for fitness and wellness purposes are typically self-pay, and HSA/FSA cards are accepted.
Which communities near New York City do you serve?
In addition to New York City, we arrange DEXA scans for residents of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Yonkers, plus the wider New York County (212 / 718 area).
Is a DEXA scan safe?
Yes. DEXA uses extremely low-dose X-rays — roughly a tenth of a chest X-ray, or less than a day of natural background radiation. The scan is painless, non-invasive, and takes about 10-15 minutes.
What does a full body DEXA scan measure?
A full body DEXA scan measures total and regional body fat percentage, lean muscle mass distribution by body region, visceral fat levels, and bone mineral density — a complete body composition picture from a single 10-minute scan.
How long does a DEXA scan appointment take?
Plan for about 30 minutes total including check-in; the scan itself takes 10-15 minutes. You'll receive your detailed results report within 24 hours.
What is the difference between a DXA scan and a DEXA scan?
Nothing — DXA and DEXA are the same test, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. "DXA" is the clinical abbreviation, while "DEXA" is the more common consumer term. Both refer to the same medical-grade body composition and bone density technology.
