DEXA Scan Cost in Dallas

A single body-composition DEXA scan in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro runs roughly $99 to $235. DexaFit Dallas advertises a $99 new-client special (plus a free 3D body scan); independent studios such as DEXA Scan Near Me on Turtle Creek and Live Lean Rx in Arlington sit at $149-$150 per scan; and the concierge platform Fitnescity is the premium end at $235. Multi-scan packages lower the per-scan price. These are advertised prices that change; confirm current pricing directly with the clinic.

On an advertised single-scan basis, DexaFit Dallas is the lowest entry point at $99 for new clients (and it includes a free 3D body scan). For repeat tracking, package math goes lower: Live Lean Rx DFW drops the effective price to about $54 per test in its 12-pack, and DexaFit’s four-pack works out to roughly $82 per visit. Cheapest is not always best — also weigh location, equipment, and whether you want add-on testing. Verify current pricing with each provider before booking.

A DEXA scan ordered for bone-density screening can be covered — Medicare Part B covers a bone-mass measurement once every 24 months for people who qualify, and many commercial Texas plans cover osteoporosis screening. A DEXA scan for body composition (body fat and lean mass) is generally considered elective and paid out of pocket. The cash prices on this page are body-composition scans. Several Dallas providers are HSA/FSA eligible. Confirm coverage with your insurer and the clinic.

BodySpec’s sub-$50 mobile vans — the cheapest national option — operate in markets like Austin, Houston, Los Angeles, and New York, but as of 2026 they do not run a regular Dallas route. That absence is the main reason the Dallas floor sits near $99 rather than $40: the metro’s low end is set by fixed studios and new-client specials, not roving vans. If a van schedule changes, the entry price could fall; check provider sites for the current footprint.

A full-body composition DEXA scan delivers roughly 4-5 microsieverts (µSv) of radiation, per BodySpec’s published figures. For context, the U.S. average background dose is about 8-10 µSv per day, and a chest X-ray is roughly 20 µSv. The dose is low, but it is still ionizing radiation — discuss frequency with a clinician if you are pregnant or scan often. This is information, not medical advice.

A DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scan measures body fat, lean (muscle) mass, and bone density, and breaks those down by region — arms, legs, and trunk — plus a visceral-fat estimate. UCSF notes DXA is highly accurate compared with most other body-composition methods and tells a clearer story than BMI; in one UCSF figure, 18.5% of women with a normal BMI had excess fat visible on DXA.
