A DEXA body composition scan at DexaFit Denver costs $99 for a 30-minute appointment at our Auraria Parkway facility. Across the Denver metro, body composition DEXA scans typically run from about $85 at basic body-fat testing services up to $250–$435 at hospital and imaging centers. Bone-density DEXA ordered through a physician is billed separately as a medical imaging procedure and priced differently again.
Our $99 price includes the scan, your full AI-enhanced report, and a walkthrough of your results before you leave. There is no add-on fee for the analysis, and scans are HSA and FSA eligible.
DEXA Scan and Single-Test Pricing
Individual assessment pricing
| Assessment | Time | Price | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| DexaFit DEXA Scan | 30 min | $99 | Body fat, visceral fat, lean mass, bone density, biological age |
| RMR Metabolism Test | 30 min | $119 | Resting calorie burn, metabolic efficiency |
| VO₂ Max Fitness Test | 30 min | $149 | Aerobic capacity, cardiovascular fitness |
Every individual assessment is a 30-minute appointment. The DEXA scan itself takes about six minutes on an open-air table; the rest of the time is check-in and reviewing your results. See what the DEXA scan measures or read how to prepare.
What the $99 DEXA Scan Includes
Price comparisons only mean something if the deliverable is the same. At $99 you receive:
Bundle Pricing: DEXA, RMR, and VO₂ Max
Body composition tells you what you are made of. Metabolic rate tells you how much fuel you burn at rest. VO₂ Max tells you how efficiently you use oxygen. Together they answer questions none of them can answer alone, and bundling costs less than booking separately.
| Assessment | Time | Price | Booked separately |
|---|---|---|---|
| DEXA + RMR MetabolismBest value | 45 min | $179 | |
| DEXA + VO₂ Max Fitness | 1 hr | $189 | |
| VO₂ Max + RMR Metabolism | 1 hr | $189 | |
| 3-Service BundleLowest per test | 1 hr 30 min | $289 |
The 3-Service Bundle at $289 works out to roughly $96 per assessment — the lowest per-test price we offer, and a $78 saving against booking all three individually. Learn more about RMR metabolism testing and VO₂ Max testing.
Couples and Shared Appointment Pricing
Shared appointments are priced per pair, not per person — the cheapest way for two people to get scanned.
| Assessment | Time | Price | Per person |
|---|---|---|---|
| Couples DEXA Scan | 40 min | $159 | under $80 each |
| Couples DEXA + RMR | 1 hr | $299 | under $150 each |
| Couples DEXA + VO₂ Max | 1 hr 30 min | $299 | under $150 each |
| Couples Triple Test Package | 2 hr 10 min | $458 | $229 each |
At $159 for two people, a Couples DEXA Scan is under $80 each — less than a single individual scan. Shared appointments run slightly longer because both people are scanned in the same visit.
Why DEXA Scan Prices in Denver Range from $85 to $435
Insurance, HSA, and FSA
Body composition scans are generally not covered by standard health insurance and are considered cash pay. A physician-ordered bone density scan may be covered if you meet certain age and medical criteria.
HSA and FSA eligible
DEXA scans at DexaFit Denver are HSA and FSA eligible, so you can pay with pre-tax dollars. Some clients have also submitted results to their carrier for reimbursement after the fact, or used favorable results when negotiating life insurance premiums. Check your specific plan.
No referral is required to book.
What to Budget Per Year
Every 3 months
$198
Every 6 months
$396
Most clients scan every 3 to 6 months — the interval where real change clears normal day-to-day fluctuation. That is $198 to $396 per year at $99 a scan for two to four data points. Scanning more often than quarterly rarely surfaces anything new; waiting much longer than six months risks staying on a plan that is not working.

DEXA Scan Cost: Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a DEXA scan cost in Denver?
+Why do DEXA scan prices in Denver vary so much?
+What the scan is for: a diagnostic bone-density DEXA ordered through a hospital is billed as a medical imaging procedure and priced accordingly. A body composition scan is a cash-pay wellness service.
What you get back: some providers hand you a single body-fat percentage. Our $99 scan includes regional fat and lean mass distribution, visceral fat, bone density, and an AI-generated biological age and longevity score.
Whether analysis is included: a low headline price sometimes covers the scan only, with the report or consultation billed separately.
Is a $99 DEXA scan as accurate as a hospital scan?
+Does insurance cover a DEXA scan for body composition?
+A DEXA scan ordered by your physician specifically for bone density assessment may be covered if you meet certain age and medical criteria — that's a different billing pathway and typically runs through a hospital or imaging center.
Some of our clients have successfully submitted their DexaFit results to their carrier for reimbursement after the fact, and others have used favorable results when negotiating life insurance premiums. Check with your provider about your specific plan.
