Hrm,
So I was checking with my doctor to see if I could get a Dexa Scan, and they poo poo all over that idea, in that insurance won’t cover it, unless some medical need.
However, looking around the internet I found lots of tests that local universities offer fairly cheap. I was surprised.

Note, none of the tests offered at your link is a dexa scan. But it is possible to find dexa scans outside of medical institutions.
Your right it is possible, but the costs are not reasonable at least to me. I’m not paying 200 - 300 dollars for curiosity sake.
$200-$300 would be through a medical facility. I pay $75 and I know there is a place in California that will do a dexa for $35.
Nice, that is outstanding price. Everything via google showing is over 200 bucks in Virginia, except for this site.
But it’s monthly fee, and a 2 hour drive for me anyway.
I got my first scan at a DEXAFIT for $60 through a groupon offer without any subscription plan. They do those offers often. Another similar place to DEXAFIT is https://liveleanrx.com/
Until I become fitter, I’m resigned to just use the Simpson Body Fat Test
I did one last week at the local university. It was $95 - if I’d been affiliated with the school it would be $80. It was good to see how much fat I still had to go and to get a sense of what is skin and what is subcutaneous fat. I also found that my visceral fat was pretty reasonable which is nice. I had more fat than what I expected - thought I’d be a lower percentage BUT it still helped to do it because now I am even more motivated as I near a reasonable size.
Where I am, it cost me $500 for three scans, and was over an hour’s drive away.
