DEXA scans in Tomball

The DEXA listings on this page show each Tomball clinic's address and contact details, whether you're coming from Old Town, the Holderrieth Boulevard medical district, or the subdivisions along SH-249. Text or call (786) 420-6630 and Dexascans.com will help you book the one that works best for you.

Each Tomball clinic sets its own pricing; Dexascans.com doesn't fix a rate. Cash-pay DEXA in the area generally lands in the $99-$250 range depending on whether you want body composition, bone density, or the combined package. HSA/FSA cards work at many clinics — confirm when you book.

It depends on the scan. A body composition DEXA is a wellness service you can book directly, no physician involved. A referral only comes into play for bone density billed to insurance, which needs a physician's order; if you self-pay for bone density, no order is required.

About one tenth of a chest X-ray, below what the natural background radiation you absorb in an ordinary day, which is why DEXA is considered safe for routine repeat screening. You lie on an open table, fully clothed, for 10-15 minutes; nothing encloses you and nothing touches you.

Almost everything that matters: total and regional body fat percentage, lean muscle mass broken out by arms, legs, and trunk, visceral fat surrounding your organs, and bone mineral density with T-scores and Z-scores. A scale reports one number; DEXA maps where your weight actually lives.

For bone density, often yes: insurance-billed bone density scans go through an imaging provider with a physician's order, and Medicare covers screening DXA for qualifying patients. Body composition scans are wellness services that insurers treat as self-pay; each clinic sets the rate, typically in the $99-$250 range.

Table time is 10-15 minutes, so plan on roughly half an hour door to door. Your report covers body fat, regional lean mass, visceral fat, and bone density scores; ask when you book how soon it will arrive.

Yes, by a wide margin. InBody and similar bioelectrical impedance devices infer composition from an electrical signal and can swing 5-8% depending on hydration, meals, and workout timing. DEXA measures tissue directly with low-dose X-ray, holds ±1-2% accuracy, and is the only consumer-accessible scan that also reads bone density.

Not hard. SH-249 and the Tomball Tollway tie Tomball to Willowbrook and northwest Houston, FM 2920 brings Magnolia and Rose Hill-area drivers into town, and the Grand Parkway connects Cypress and The Woodlands. Check the listings on this page for each clinic's address before you drive.

Three groups stand out: healthcare workers from the HCA Houston Healthcare Tomball campus who want instrument-grade data on their own bodies; families and commuters in growth communities like Woodtrace, Amira, and Lakes at Creekside tracking body composition honestly; and adults over 50, from Old Town to the Burroughs Park regulars, establishing the bone density baseline that osteoporosis screening is built on.
