What to Expect
Your DexaFit experience begins with a consultation to understand your specific goals and determine which assessments will be most beneficial for your needs. The DEXA scan itself takes only 10-15 minutes and involves lying still on a comfortable table while the scanner takes precise measurements of your entire body. Additional testing such as VO2 max or metabolic rate assessment may take an additional 30-45 minutes depending on the protocols selected. After testing is complete, our team analyzes your results and provides a comprehensive report with detailed explanations of your measurements and personalized recommendations. Follow-up consultations can be scheduled to discuss implementation strategies and plan future assessments to track your progress over time.

Unlike typical fitness assessments, our comprehensive approach provides insights into bone health, regional fat distribution, and metabolic function that can reveal important health information beyond basic weight measurements. Our sports medicine background means we understand how to translate complex data into practical strategies that work for your lifestyle and goals. The precision of our measurements allows you to track even small changes over time, providing motivation and validation for your efforts when traditional scales might not show progress.
Insurance & Pricing
Most services at DexaFit Madison are self-pay, as they are typically considered elective wellness assessments rather than medical necessities. DEXA scans typically range from $100-150, while comprehensive packages including multiple assessments may cost $200-400. Some health savings accounts and flexible spending accounts may cover these services, and we can provide detailed receipts for reimbursement purposes. We offer package deals for multiple scans and assessments, which can provide significant savings for clients planning to track progress over time. Corporate wellness programs and team assessments may qualify for group pricing discounts.
First-Time Patient Tips
To prepare for your DEXA scan, avoid calcium supplements for 24 hours prior to your appointment and wear comfortable clothing without metal components such as zippers, buttons, or underwire bras. For metabolic testing, plan to fast for at least 4 hours and avoid caffeine and exercise on the day of testing. Arrive well-hydrated but avoid excessive fluid intake immediately before your appointment. Bring a list of current medications and supplements, as some may affect test results. If you're tracking progress, try to schedule follow-up scans at similar times of day and under similar conditions for the most accurate comparisons. Plan to spend 1-2 hours at our facility depending on which assessments you're receiving.
