Out on the high plains of the Texas Panhandle, Amarillo is a city of cattle, wind, and Route 66 history, with the old highway's Sixth Street district running through the San Jacinto neighborhood and Cadillac Ranch standing in a field west of town. The city straddles the Potter and Randall county line, with city hall on the Potter County side, and its healthcare footprint is concentrated in the medical district along Coulter Street and Wallace Boulevard. The DEXA clinics listed on this page each show an address and contact details. Palo Duro Canyon State Park, a short drive southeast, gives local runners and hikers some of the best trail terrain in Texas, including the Lighthouse Trail.

Amarillo I40 First Urgent Care, at 201 Westgate Parkway W, Unit A in Amarillo, TX, runs DEXA scans for the Amarillo area. Call (806) 666-6402 to schedule your appointment. How much does a DEXA scan cost in Amarillo? Expect a cash-pay range of roughly $99–$250 in Amarillo — the price depends on the clinic and the scan type, since each provider prices independently. Confirm the number with the clinic when you book; most accept HSA and FSA cards. Do I need a referral for a DEXA scan in Amarillo? At most clinics a self-pay body composition scan is open booking: no doctor, no paperwork. The referral question mainly comes up for a bone density study you want billed to insurance; hospital imaging departments in Amarillo may ask for an order either way. Does insurance cover DEXA scans in Amarillo, Texas? 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 health system in Potter County like BSA Health System & Northwest Texas Healthcare System, 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 Amarillo? Yes, and safe enough to repeat, which is why Amarillo clients rescan every few months to track progress. The dose is about one-tenth of a chest X-ray, under a normal day of background exposure. It is an open table, not an enclosed tube, and you stay fully clothed. What does a full body DEXA scan measure in Amarillo? Four things a scale cannot: body fat percentage overall and by region, lean muscle mass in each limb and your trunk, the visceral fat around your organs, and your bone mineral density. One pass on the table, one report; ask which scans are offered in Amarillo when you book. How long does a DEXA scan appointment take in Amarillo?
