DEXA scans are used for:
During a DEXA scan, you lie on a table while a specialized low-dose X-ray machine slowly passes over your body. It emits two different energy levels of X-rays, which are absorbed at different rates by bone, fat, and muscle tissue. This information allows the scanner to accurately calculate the amount of each component in your body.
The scan results provide a detailed report that includes:
A DEXA Body Composition Scan is considered an elective, non-medically necessary procedure by most insurance providers. Because it is typically used for wellness, fitness, or preventative purposes rather than for diagnosing or treating a medical condition, it does not meet the criteria for insurance coverage. As a result, patients are responsible for the full cost of the scan.
The cost of the DEXA Body Composition Scan is $75. If you would like to schedule an appointment, please call 906-341-3262. Appointment times will be available during normal business hours. Once your appointment is set, our Patient Financial Services team will contact you to arrange payment prior to your visit.

The care that was provided by The nurses (Cindy, Felicia Ruth) and staff was exceptional. The entire staff was very friendly and made you feel welcome. We received a call from Felicia the next day to check on my husband to check his pain level and do a follow up. The surgery area from check in to check out was well organized, clean, and up to date. Thank you to all of you for what you do so well and everything beyond your normal duties.
