DEXA Scan Cost in Miami

A single body-composition DEXA scan in Miami generally runs about $100 to $260. Independent clinics like Infinity Sports Institute (Midtown), PURE Executive Health (Coral Gables), and My Health & Wellness Medical Group (Edgewater) sit in the roughly $100-$150 range, while the national Fitnescity network charges $260 for a single Coral Gables scan, dropping to $235 in a 4-scan package. The cheapest body-composition number in the city is actually a BOD POD test at the University of Miami Fitness Laboratory, from about $35 for student-members. These are advertised prices that change; confirm current pricing directly with the clinic.

In cities like New York and Los Angeles, BodySpec mobile vans set the floor at $39.95. In Miami, BodySpec has not launched yet — its own page reads "Convenient and Affordable Miami Dexa Scans Coming Soon!" with a waitlist instead of booking. So Miami has no $39.95 mobile-van entry point today. The budget floor here is the University of Miami Fitness Laboratory BOD POD (from ~$35, but that is air-displacement, not DEXA) and independent clinic DEXA scans starting around $100. Confirm current availability and pricing with each provider.

Coral Gables is the densest cluster for body-composition testing in Miami. PURE Executive Health & Wellness on Salzedo Street offers a six-minute DEXA scan and recommends rescanning every three to six months. The Fitnescity network fulfills its Miami DEXA scans through Coral Gables-area partner facilities at $260 per single scan with a 1:1 MD results call. The University of Miami Fitness Laboratory, also in Coral Gables, runs BOD POD body composition rather than DEXA. Verify current pricing with each clinic 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 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. Confirm coverage with your insurer and the clinic.

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.
