I was prescribed/referred for a dexa for a medical condition.
Do gyms offer these or just pay somewhere to have one?
Mine was at radiology dept of hospital- did not seem like something anyone can just buy.
DEXA scan out of medical procedure is like $200 per scan around here.
Inbody is like 30-50.
Not many people pay $200 a month to be scanned. Gyms chose affordable option.
Does DEXA require a prescription or can anyone willing to pay have it done?
