DEXA Scan Near You

A cash-pay DEXA body-composition scan typically costs about $40-150. Budget providers like BodySpec charge roughly $40-45 per scan (and lower with a membership), while full-service providers like DexaFit run about $100-150 per scan, sometimes bundled with VO2 max or RMR testing. Prices vary by city and location — confirm current pricing directly with the provider.

DEXA scans for bone-density (osteoporosis) screening are often covered when medically indicated, but DEXA scans ordered purely for body-composition or fitness tracking are generally not covered and are paid cash. Most body-composition scans listed here are cash-pay. Check with your insurer and the provider before booking.

A DEXA (DXA) scan measures body composition — total and regional body fat, lean muscle mass, visceral fat, and bone density. It is more precise than BMI or bathroom scales because it separates fat, muscle, and bone rather than estimating from weight and height.

For body-composition tracking, many people scan once every 3-6 months to see meaningful changes in fat and muscle. Scanning more often than quarterly rarely shows change beyond normal measurement variation. Talk to a clinician about the right cadence for bone-density screening.
