The short answer
Colorado regulations require medical authorization before DEXA imaging, but you do not need to get a referral from your own doctor—every DEXA request is reviewed by Body Fat USA's Medical Authority, Dr. Ryan Engelhardt, DC, before your appointment.
Simply book online and complete the intake information. We guide you through the required authorization before your visit, with our Medical Authority reviewing your request, so there is no separate doctor's appointment and no paperwork to chase down.
Why does Colorado require it?
DEXA uses X-ray, and Colorado regulates X-ray imaging. Body Fat USA follows all applicable state requirements. If you have questions about scheduling or authorization, call (303) 758-9552 or email info@bodyfatusa.com.
