    I've been researching it and am also considering getting a DEXAscan. They cost about $80 (US) from a local orthopedist, which, for something that isn't covered by insurance, is pretty good, especially given how accurate they are.

    That's a fairly typical in-office price for DXA but there is a mobile service in my area that only charges $45 per scan; less if you prepay for multiple scans in advance but I don't. It's called BodySpec and provide services in LA and the SF Bay Area.

    I also get hydrostatic tests done by another mobile company called Body Fat Test, which has locations in CA, CO, WA, MO, TX & FL. an initial test costs $49 and followup tests cost $39.

    Check to see if there are any similar services in your area.
