DEXA Scans may be covered by insurance under certain circumstances.
DEXA scans are an advanced tool for analyzing body composition and bone density, making them a valuable resource for managing health and fitness. However, whether a DEXA scan is covered by insurance depends on the purpose of the scan and your specific insurance plan.
At KALOS, we don’t process insurance claims, so it’s essential to understand how insurance coverage works and explore other ways to access this important service.
Insurance plans, including Medicare, often cover DEXA scans when prescribed for medical reasons, particularly for bone density assessment. Common scenarios where DEXA scans are covered include:
Medicare Part B covers bone density tests once every two years for individuals at high risk of osteoporosis. However, this applies only if the scan is medically necessary and ordered by a healthcare provider. Medicare does not cover DEXA scans performed solely for body composition analysis or fitness tracking.
Insurance companies typically categorize DEXA scans for body composition as elective or non-medical services, meaning they are not covered. These scans are considered tools for fitness, weight management, or athletic performance, rather than diagnostic necessities.
