They serve different needs. DexaFit Johnson City on Sunset Dr is a wellness and performance lab — you can book directly for a body-composition DEXA that measures fat, lean mass, and visceral fat and also reports bone density. Medical Care PLLC downtown is a diagnostic bone-density (DXA) provider: physician-ordered and insurance-billable, geared toward osteoporosis screening.

Self-pay pricing is flat and transparent: $149 for a body-composition scan, $199 for bone density, and $249 for the complete package. HSA and FSA are accepted, and there are no hidden fees. Diagnostic bone-density scans at Medical Care PLLC can also be billed to insurance with a physician order.

DexaFit Johnson City at 805 Sunset Dr, Suite 4, sits in the med-tech corridor near East Tennessee State University and is the go-to spot for body composition.

Not for body composition. DexaFit Johnson City lets you book a body-composition DEXA directly with no referral. A diagnostic bone-density scan billed to insurance — like those at Medical Care PLLC downtown — does require a physician order, and Medicare covers screening DXA for qualifying patients.

DEXA uses a very low dose of X-ray energy — roughly one-tenth that of a standard chest X-ray. It's one of the lowest-radiation imaging tests available, which is part of why it's used routinely for both body-composition tracking and bone-density screening in Johnson City.

The scan itself takes about 10–15 minutes, with roughly 30 minutes total for your visit. Results are typically ready within 24 hours, so you won't wait long — handy whether you're an ETSU athlete adjusting training or a patient tracking bone health.

Yes. DEXA measures body composition at about ±1–2% accuracy, compared with roughly 5–8% for bioelectrical impedance (BIA/InBody) devices.
