Your results arrive already reviewed
Most people get a bone density scan the long way: a visit to get the order, a wait for an imaging center, then another visit or portal message to find out what the numbers mean. Here, the order, the scan and the physician review happen in one place.
The usual route
- Book a doctor visit to get a referral
- Call an imaging center and wait for an opening
- Get scanned
- Wait for the report to reach your doctor
- Another visit or message to go over the results
Before your deductible is met, the visits and the scan can each show up as a bill.

What you get back
The numbers your doctor looks for
A site-specific scan measures your lumbar spine and both hips, the sites physicians use to assess bone density. Your report shows your T-score, the number physicians use to classify bone density. Our in-house physician also interprets your FRAX score, your estimated 10-year chance of a hip or other major fracture.
T-score scale
−4−2.5−1.0
Osteoporosis−2.5 and below
Low bone massOsteopenia, −1.0 to −2.5
Normal−1.0 and above
Ranges follow the World Health Organization criteria. Our physician interprets where you land, along with your FRAX score, and flags anything that needs follow-up.
Bone density + body composition
See your bones and what protects them
Same machine, two different scans. Bone density tells you how strong your bones are. Body composition shows the muscle and fat around them, including lean mass by region and visceral fat. Muscle is what loads your bones and keeps you steady, so the two answers belong together.

Body composition

- Left and right side comparison
- Report emailed in 24 to 48 hours
Two ways to use your 2 scans
Bone + body, one visit
Get both scans the same day. Your full baseline: bone density for your skeleton, body composition for the muscle you’ll build on it.
Before and after
Start with your scan, train for 12 to 16 weeks, then retest body composition and see exactly how much muscle you added and fat you lost.
Bone density changes slowly, so it’s usually rechecked every 1 to 2 years. Muscle and fat change in weeks, which is why your before and after shows up on the body composition scan.

Who it’s for
Worth a scan if this is you
- Women in perimenopause or past menopause
- Women 35 and up who want a baseline before bone loss speeds up
- Men over 60
- A parent or sibling with osteoporosis or a hip fracture
- A fracture from a minor fall, or a past stress fracture
- Losing weight quickly, including on a GLP-1
- Anyone tracking bone health over time

Questions
Do I need a referral?
A bone density scan needs a provider’s order. Bring one from your own provider, or our staff physician can provide it. If you need ours, book your scan at least one week out.
How do I book my appointment?
Buy your scan first. Checkout adds it to your account as a scan credit. Then book your appointment time online in your account, in the APEX PWR app (search “APEX PWR” in the App Store or Google Play), or call (971) 294-2669 and we’ll book it with you.
Who reads my results?
Our in-house physician reviews every bone density scan and provides an interpretation of your bone density and FRAX score before your report is sent. There’s no extra charge and no separate appointment. If you’d like your own doctor to have it, give us their name and fax number.
What is a FRAX score?
FRAX estimates your chance of a hip fracture or other major fracture over the next 10 years. It combines your hip bone density with factors like age, sex, body size and history. Our physician includes it in your interpretation so the T-score has context.
Is this cheaper than going through insurance?
It depends on your plan. If you haven’t met a high deductible, the referral visit, the scan and a follow-up visit can each be billed to you, and $127 with physician review included often comes out ahead. If your plan covers screening in full, for example Medicare or preventive coverage for women 65 and older, insurance may cost you less. Call (971) 294-2669 and we’ll help you think it through.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Yes. We accept HSA and FSA cards at checkout. A bone density scan is generally an eligible medical expense, but your plan administrator makes the final call, so check with them if you’re unsure.
Body composition or bone density: which do I need?
The bone density scan focuses on your spine and hips and is what physicians use to assess bone density. Body composition measures muscle, fat and visceral fat across your whole body and does not diagnose bone density. Not sure? Get both with the 2-scan option, or call us and we’ll help you choose.
When do I get my results?
Bone density results, with your physician’s interpretation, are emailed within 7 business days. Body composition reports are emailed within 24 to 48 hours.
How often should I recheck bone density?
Bone changes slowly, so most people recheck every 1 to 2 years. Our physician may suggest a different timeline based on your results.
How do I prepare?
Wear clothing without metal zippers, buttons or underwire, and leave jewelry and belts at home. You can eat and drink normally. Metal from past surgery is fine. If you’re over 350 lb or can’t get onto the table, we can scan your forearm instead.
Is it safe?
DEXA is a low-dose X-ray. One scan exposes you to less radiation than a cross-country flight.
Who gets the new-client price?
Anyone who hasn’t had a DEXA scan at APEX PWR before, one per person. Both credits in the two-scan option need to be used within 180 days of purchase.
