FAQs

I think everybody should have a DEXA scan… You have to know your bone mineral density... you have to know how much visceral fat you have... And you have to know how much muscle mass you have.

  • Envision your DexaFit scan as the evolution of the traditional DEXA scan, akin to contrasting a sophisticated AI-integrated smartphone with a basic flip phone.

    This advanced AI-powered DEXA technology does more than just quantify typical factors such as body fat, muscle mass, and bone density. It delves deeper, uncovering crucial metrics like your biological age and pinpointing potential risks for significant health issues, including heart disease and diabetes. This is more than a mere scan; it's a critical tool in comprehensively understanding and expertly managing your body composition with unmatched accuracy and insight.

  • Explore your body's composition with our easy-to-understand DexaFit scan. More than just measuring fat and muscle, it gives you a clear picture of your bones and muscles' health. You'll learn about your visceral fat levels and see if you're at risk for diseases like heart disease and diabetes.

    Your DexaFit scan also compares your results with others, helping you set realistic health goals. Plus, you get a color-coded map of your body, making it simple to see and track your progress. This scan is not just about checking your health; it's a clear guide to a healthier you.

  • On the day of your DexaFit scan, here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure everything goes smoothly:

    Pre-Scan Preparations: Limit physical activity (no exercise, please!) and stay hydrated. Fast for at least two hours prior to your scan.

    Dress Appropriately: Wear workout clothes without metal. Small buttons or zippers are fine. Don’t forget your socks!

    Metal and Jewelry: You’ll be asked to empty your pockets and remove metal items like watches, belts, glasses, and jewelry.

    During the Scan: Relax on an open-air DEXA scan table. The process is quick and uses minimal radiation, equivalent to about four bananas worth of exposure, or a few hours of natural background radiation.

    Contrast Agents: Avoid gastrointestinal contrast, barium, or other contrast mediums, and radionuclides within 48 hours of your appointment.

    The DexaFit scan is a straightforward, non-invasive procedure designed for your comfort and convenience, providing valuable insights into your body composition.

  • Consistent DexaFit scans play a vital role in tracking your health journey. For the majority of individuals, undergoing a scan every 3 to 6 months is ideal for observing shifts and assessing the impact of your health regimen. Extended intervals without this valuable feedback could result in adherence to a suboptimal health plan.

  • The DexaFit Body Scan leverages the precision of DEXA technology, long regarded as the gold standard in body composition analysis, and enhances it with AI for unparalleled accuracy and insights:

    Trusted Foundation in DEXA: Recognized for its precision in research and medical fields, DEXA technology forms the core of DexaFit scans. This proven method is renowned for its accuracy in measuring body composition.

    AI-Enhanced Analysis: DexaFit takes DEXA's reliability further with AI integration, offering not just detailed measurements but also personalized insights and health recommendations based on your unique data.

    Comprehensive Three-Compartment Model: Unlike two-compartment methods such as Hydrostatic Weighing or Bod Pod, DexaFit scans measure lean mass, fat mass, and bone mass, providing a more thorough analysis of body composition.

    Precision in Fat and Lean Mass Distribution: While other methods like BIA claim regional analysis, DexaFit provides a more precise and accurate distribution assessment, crucial for targeted health strategies.

    Beyond Conventional Limitations: Common methods like BIA, found in home scales and handheld devices, are often influenced by variables like hydration, leading to inaccuracies. Hydrostatic Weighing and Bod Pod are constrained by environmental factors and assumptions, affecting their precision.

    Direct Measurement Advantage: DexaFit's DEXA-based scans directly measure body composition, eliminating the assumptions and potential errors inherent in calculated methods. This direct approach significantly enhances accuracy and consistency.

    Wider Health Insights: DexaFit scans go beyond basic body composition to offer insights into health risks such as osteoporosis and sarcopenia, providing a more complete view of your overall health.

    In summary, DexaFit Body Scans, built upon the trusted and accurate DEXA technology and augmented with AI, offer a level of precision, detail, and comprehensive analysis unmatched by other body composition methods.

  • Insurance coverage for DEXA scans can vary depending on the purpose and your personal medical situation. Here are some key points to consider:

    Bone Density Scans: If your scan is ordered by your physcian and used specifically for bone density assessment, it may be covered by insurance, especially if you meet certain age and medical criteria.

    Body Composition Scans: Currently, body composition scans are generally not covered by standard health insurance and are considered cash pay. However, many users have successfully received reimbursement from their insurance carriers after submitting their DexaFit results.

    Potential Insurance Benefits: Some users have even reported obtaining reduced life insurance premiums by sharing their positive DexaFit results, showcasing improved health and lower risk factors.

    HSA/FSA Eligibility: While we continue to work towards broader insurance coverage, DexaFit scans are eligible for payment through Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), making them more accessible.

    It's always a good idea to check with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage options and any potential benefits of submitting your DexaFit results.
