We serve clients from all Salt Lake Valley communities — Millcreek, Holladay, Cottonwood Heights, Murray, and the greater Wasatch Front — with flexible appointment times Monday through Saturday. Book online or call us to schedule your body composition scan today.
How much does a DEXA scan cost in Salt Lake City?
DEXA scan pricing in Salt Lake City starts at $149 for a comprehensive body composition analysis. Our bone density test is $199, and our complete health package is $249. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees and accept HSA/FSA payments — significantly more affordable than hospital imaging centers at University of Utah Health, Intermountain Health, or HCA Healthcare that typically charge $300 or more.
Why is DEXA scanning especially valuable for Salt Lake City outdoor athletes?
Salt Lake City offers world-class skiing at Alta, Snowbird, Park City, and Brighton right in its backyard, plus summer hiking and trail running in the Wasatch Range. At altitude, with athletes pushing performance limits year-round, precise body composition monitoring is essential. Our partner clinics serving the Salt Lake City area use FDA-approved, medical-grade DEXA technology with 98%+ accuracy for measuring body fat, lean muscle, and bone density — the clinical standard trusted by University of Utah Athletics and Wasatch Front sports medicine professionals.
Do I need a referral for a DEXA scan in Salt Lake City?
No referral needed. Unlike imaging centers affiliated with University of Utah Health or Intermountain Health, you can book your DEXA scan directly with us for wellness and body composition purposes. We welcome self-referred clients and referrals from Salt Lake City-area physicians, trainers, and ski and endurance coaches throughout the Wasatch Front.
Is a DEXA scan safe? (Salt Lake City DEXA scanning)
Absolutely. Our Salt Lake City DEXA scans use extremely low-dose X-rays — less than the increased cosmic radiation Salt Lake City residents absorb daily from living at 4,300 feet elevation. The scan is completely painless, non-invasive, and takes just 10-15 minutes. Bone density monitoring is especially important for Wasatch Front outdoor athletes, and DEXA is the gold standard tool.
How long does a DEXA scan take in Salt Lake City?
Your DEXA scan appointment at our partner clinic serving the Salt Lake City area takes about 30 minutes total, including check-in and results consultation. The actual scan is only 10-15 minutes — easy to schedule before a ski day at Snowbird or after a trail run in Millcreek Canyon.
Does insurance cover DEXA scans in Salt Lake City, Utah?
Many insurance plans cover DEXA scans when medically necessary for bone density testing. Our partner clinics serving the Salt Lake City area accept HSA and FSA payments for all DEXA scan services. We also offer affordable self-pay options starting at $149. Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah, Select Health, and Cigna plans often include bone density screening benefits for eligible patients.
What does a full body DEXA scan measure in Salt Lake City?
A full body DEXA scan at our partner clinic serving the Salt Lake City area measures total and regional body fat percentage, lean muscle mass distribution, visceral fat levels, and bone mineral density. For Alta and Snowbird skiers, Wasatch trail runners, Big Cottonwood Canyon cyclists, and University of Utah athletes, this data provides the clinical precision to optimize performance and monitor bone health through demanding high-altitude training.
How is DEXA different from InBody scans at Salt Lake City gyms?
Many Salt Lake City gyms and recreation centers offer InBody BIA scans, but DEXA is the gold standard. DEXA uses X-ray technology for direct tissue measurement with +/-1-2% accuracy. InBody uses bioelectrical impedance which can vary by +/-5-8% based on hydration — a significant issue at altitude where Salt Lake City athletes may be chronically slightly dehydrated. DEXA is the research standard used at the University of Utah Health Sciences.
Can I get same-day DEXA scan results in Salt Lake City?
Yes! At our Salt Lake City location, you'll receive your comprehensive DEXA scan results within 24 hours via email. For an additional fee, we offer expedited same-day results including body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, bone density T-scores, and personalized recommendations — perfect for Wasatch Front athletes optimizing performance before ski season or summer endurance events.
