DEXA scan cost: body composition and bone density price rows, pending hand-check
A DEXA cash price on this page is split by product: a body-composition scan and a bone-density exam. All-in is the facility fee plus any radiologist read fee and any booking fee the facility publishes. The hand-check sheet has no DEXA row. Cash prices are pending a hand check. This page prints no amount. Whether a facility requires a clinician's order is on that facility's own page.
Two DEXA products, two price rows
Prices and logistics only. This page isn't medical advice. Ask your clinician about whether a test is right for you.
RadiologyInfo describes DXA (also written DEXA) as a bone-density exam. The usual images are the lumbar spine and the hips. The exam uses x-rays to estimate bone density at those sites.
This site lists two different cash products: a body-composition DEXA and a bone-density exam. RadiologyInfo's page is about bone density. A body-composition offer is a different product even when it uses a DEXA device. Do not treat the two price pages as one exam. This page does not say who should have either exam.
Open the body-composition DEXA cash page and the bone-density cash page. Visit logistics are on what a DEXA scan covers.
The October 2026 hand-check sheet has no scan row. Cash prices are pending a hand check. This page prints no amount.

Cash prices for DEXA scans are pending a hand check.
Current as of Oct 19, 2026.
What all-in includes for a DEXA scan
All-in for a scan on this site is the facility fee, plus the radiologist read fee, plus any contrast fee, plus any booking fee the facility publishes. Ask the offer whether contrast, a physician order, a facility fee, or a follow-up read is included, extra, or unstated. An unstated fee stays unstated. A piece that is not on the sheet is not ranked. No row on this page is ranked. See how to compare scan prices and the methodology.
Whether a body-composition offer includes a radiologist read is stated on that offer's page, if it is stated at all. The read fee stays pending a hand check until a facility's own page is hand-checked. No fee figure is stated here.
Some chains publish a package or a plan beside a single scan. This page does not compute a per-scan figure for a package. No package price is on the sheet.
Self-pay and a health plan
What you pay with a plan depends on the plan and on how the scan is ordered and billed. Ask the facility for its self-pay price and ask the plan about the bill. This page does not decide what a plan pays. The self-pay prices are not listed yet.
A marketplace bundle would be listed only after a hand check of one location, including what the bundle contains. No marketplace row is on the sheet. Prices on a script-rendered page are read by a person in a browser, not by an automated tool.
States
Each chain publishes its own location list. This page does not copy a location list. Lab-test state rules are not applied to scans.
Laboratory rules this site has cited live on how a cash lab order works and the state guide. Those rules are not used here.
How to book
This page does not state a turnaround. Follow the facility's own prep instructions. This page does not restate prep steps. A body-composition offer can print different instructions than a bone-density exam. Use the instructions on that offer.
- 1. Choose body-composition or bone-density. They are different products.
- 2. Read the facility's page for whether a clinician's order is required.
- 3. Book on the facility's own site or by the phone number that site prints.
- 4. Follow the facility's own prep instructions.
- 5. The report arrives the way the facility describes, in a portal or by email.
Ways to ask about the price
Ask the facility for the self-pay price of the same scan type before you book. This page does not print a savings figure.
Check with your HSA or FSA plan administrator and the facility before you pay with account funds.
This page does not list a promo code. No code was tested at checkout for this page.
How these rows were checked
Every price on this site is a row on the monthly hand-check sheet. A person checks a page in a normal browser and keeps a screenshot with the sheet. This site does not read provider sites automatically. No price on this page is a search-engine figure, an AI-overview figure, or a chat answer. The October 2026 sheet has no DEXA row, so no price is listed on this page.
No facility on this page pays this site. There is no affiliate link here.
