Union City is one of the most densely populated cities in the United States, roughly 68,600 people living in about 1.3 square miles atop the Hudson Palisades, just across the river from Midtown Manhattan. Known as the "Embroidery Capital" for the mills that once lined its streets and home to one of the largest Cuban American communities in the country, this is a heavily Latino, transit-reliant city where many residents commute to New York through the Lincoln Tunnel or on the buses that run up and down Bergenline Avenue. For local imaging, New Jersey Imaging Network - Union City sits at 3196 John F. Kennedy Boulevard, on the corner of JFK Boulevard and 32nd Street. It is a RadNet / RWJBarnabas Health diagnostic imaging center, a genuine radiology facility, not a fitness or body-composition studio. Its DEXA / bone-density service is a physician-ordered, insurance-billable diagnostic exam. Through Dexascans.com you can also book a straightforward self-pay DEXA scan with no referral required, at flat pricing: body composition $149, bone density $199, or the complete package $249. To schedule, text or call (786) 420-6630.

For an insurance-billed diagnostic bone-density DEXA at New Jersey Imaging Network - Union City, you need a physician order. If you prefer to pay out of pocket, a self-pay bone-density scan booked through Dexascans.com requires no referral at all.

Is the Union City DEXA center a fitness or body-composition lab?

No, to be clear, New Jersey Imaging Network - Union City is a full diagnostic radiology center run by RadNet and RWJBarnabas Health, not a gym or fitness studio. Its core DEXA service is physician-ordered diagnostic bone-density imaging, though self-pay body-composition scans can also be arranged through Dexascans.com.

Who Benefits From a DEXA Scan in Union City

NYC Commuters on Tight Schedules

Union City residents who bus or drive through the Lincoln Tunnel to Manhattan jobs often can't fit a Midtown appointment into a workday. New Jersey Imaging Network - Union City sits right on Kennedy Boulevard, so a physician-ordered bone-density DEXA can be billed to insurance close to home, or a self-pay body-composition scan booked in a 15-minute window before the commute, results back within 24 hours.

Older & Postmenopausal Residents Screening Bone Density

In such a densely settled city, many older adults and postmenopausal women want osteoporosis screening without traveling into New York. A diagnostic bone-density DEXA at the Kennedy Boulevard center is insurance-billable with a physician order, and Medicare covers screening DXA for qualifying patients, a low-radiation exam (about one-tenth of a chest X-ray) done at an accredited local radiology center.

Multigenerational Latino Families Wanting an Accredited Local Center

Union City's large Cuban American and broader Latino community often values keeping care within the neighborhood, close to Bergenline Avenue. Families can point parents and grandparents to a RadNet / RWJBarnabas accredited imaging center for diagnostic bone-density scans, while younger relatives book self-pay body-composition DEXA scans through Dexascans.com at flat, transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
