Hackensack has two published DEXA locations: Affinity Radiology at 155 State St in downtown Hackensack, one block west of Main Street, and New Jersey Imaging Network - Hackensack at 385 Prospect Ave, Suite 1, in the Prospect Plaza medical building less than a mile from Hackensack University Medical Center. Text or call (786) 420-6630 and Dexascans.com will confirm availability and book the location that is easier for you. How much does a DEXA scan cost in Hackensack? Each imaging center sets its own rates; Dexascans.com doesn't price scans. Cash-pay DEXA in Hackensack typically runs $99-$250 depending on whether you book body composition, bone density, or both. HSA/FSA cards are accepted at many locations, and clinic cash pricing is typically well below what Bergen County hospital imaging departments bill for comparable scans. Do I need a doctor's referral for a DEXA scan in Hackensack? Not for body composition. You can book a wellness DEXA scan at a Hackensack clinic directly, no referral needed. A physician's order is generally required only if you want a bone density scan billed to insurance for osteoporosis screening; a self-pay bone density scan does not require one. Is DEXA scanning safe? Yes. A DEXA scan uses extremely low-dose X-rays, roughly one tenth of a chest X-ray, which is less than a single day of natural background radiation. The scan is painless and non-invasive: you lie still on an open table for 10-15 minutes, fully clothed, at an accredited imaging center like Affinity Radiology or NJIN of Hackensack. What does a DEXA scan measure? One scan measures total and regional body fat percentage, lean muscle mass in your arms, legs, and trunk, visceral fat around your organs, and bone mineral density with T-scores and Z-scores. It is the same technology Hackensack's hospital-affiliated radiology centers use for osteoporosis screening, applied to a complete body composition picture. Does insurance or Medicare cover a DEXA scan in Hackensack? Bone density DEXA is often covered when a physician's order documents medical necessity (for example, a referral from a Hackensack Meridian Health doctor) and Medicare covers screening DXA for qualifying patients. NJIN of Hackensack operates within the RWJBarnabas Health and RadNet network for insurance-billed studies. Body composition scans are wellness services and self-pay at the clinic's own rate, typically $99-$250, with HSA/FSA accepted at most locations. How long does a DEXA appointment take, and when do I get results? Plan on about 30 minutes door to door; actual table time is 10-15 minutes. Your full report (body fat percentage, regional lean mass, visceral fat, and bone density scores) is delivered within 24 hours, so a scan before work downtown or after a shift on Prospect Avenue turns into usable data by the next day. How is DEXA different from the InBody scan at my Hackensack gym? InBody and other BIA devices estimate composition from electrical impedance and can swing 5-8% with hydration, meals, and workout timing. DEXA measures tissue directly with X-ray attenuation and holds ±1-2% accuracy. Plus it is the only consumer-accessible scan that reads bone density. It is the difference between an estimate and a measurement. I'm coming from Route 4 or The Shops at Riverside, how close are the clinics? Both are minutes away. From The Shops at Riverside on Hackensack Avenue, Affinity Radiology at 155 State St is a short drive south into downtown, and NJIN of Hackensack at 385 Prospect Ave is just off the Passaic Street corridor. Route 4, Route 17, and I-80 all feed into Hackensack, and rail commuters can use the Anderson Street or Essex Street stations. Who typically gets DEXA scans in Hackensack? Three groups dominate: medical professionals from the Hackensack University Medical Center campus who want ground-truth data on their own health; commuters and downtown professionals tracking body composition through training cycles; and adults over 50 establishing bone density baselines. With two published clinics in town, most Hackensack residents are within a ten-minute drive of a scanner. ## 2 DEXA Scan Locations in Hackensack Imaging and body-composition facilities across the Hackensack metro.
