Across the Potomac from Washington, Arlington County concentrates the Pentagon, Arlington National Cemetery, Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, and one of the fittest urban populations in the country into twenty-six square miles. The county's published DEXA option is Bodymass Composition Testing - Arlington at 2000 15th St. N. in the Courthouse area of the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor, a dedicated body-composition practice rather than a hospital add-on. It serves a community that trains hard by default: the Custis Trail and Mount Vernon Trail carry commuting cyclists daily, the W&OD Trail begins its long run west toward the Blue Ridge here, and both the Marine Corps Marathon and the Army Ten-Miler course through Arlington each fall. Add the federal and military workforce, plus the tech influx around Amazon's HQ2 in Pentagon City and Crystal City, and you get a population that wants measured answers. VHC Health's Virginia Hospital Center anchors clinical care in the county, and DEXA supplies the body data, fat, muscle, and bone, that annual physicals rarely quantify.

Frequently Asked Questions - Arlington DEXA Scans
Where can I get a DEXA scan in Arlington, VA?
Bodymass Composition Testing - Arlington, at 2000 15th St. N. in Arlington, VA, runs DEXA scans for the Arlington area. Call (703) 261-9763 or book through Dexascans.com to schedule your appointment.
How much does a DEXA scan cost in Arlington?
There is no single Arlington price: clinics publish their own rates, and cash-pay DEXA scans generally land between $99 and $250 by scan type. That still usually undercuts the $300-plus hospital imaging departments bill for comparable scans. Ask the clinic for its current rate when scheduling — HSA/FSA funds work at most.
Do I need a referral for a DEXA scan in Arlington?
Only if you want insurance to pay. Self-pay booking at Bodymass Composition Testing - Arlington needs no referral for either scan type; an insurance-billed bone density exam does need your physician to order it first.
Does insurance cover DEXA scans in Arlington, Virginia?
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 Arlington County health system like VHC Health (Virginia Hospital Center), 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 Arlington?
Yes. Nothing is injected and nothing encloses you: at Bodymass Composition Testing - Arlington you lie on an open table for 10-15 minutes while the scanner arm passes overhead. The X-ray dose is roughly a tenth of a chest X-ray.
What does a full body DEXA scan measure in Arlington?
One scan in Arlington produces your body fat percentage, a limb-by-limb lean mass breakdown, a visceral fat reading, and bone mineral density. That combination is why a DEXA report replaces a stack of separate measurements, including the bone-density study a VHC Health (Virginia Hospital Center) physician would order on its own.
How long does a DEXA scan appointment take in Arlington?
Plan on 30 minutes in Arlington — check-in, then 10-15 minutes on the table at Bodymass Composition Testing - Arlington. Results follow within 24 hours, so a morning scan is a next-day answer.
What is the difference between a DXA scan and a DEXA scan?
No difference at all. "DXA" is the abbreviation radiology departments like VHC Health (Virginia Hospital Center) use; "DEXA" is the one patients search for. Both name dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and both describe what you would book in Arlington.
