DEXA Scans in Long Island City, NY
LIC has grown from industrial waterfront to one of NYC's most health-forward neighborhoods, East River runners at Gantry Plaza, Queensboro Bridge cyclists, and a dense cluster of new gyms and studios. DEXA scanning matches that energy with body composition data.

No referral required
FDA-approved medical equipment
HIPAA-compliant and private results
Long Island City sits one stop from Midtown, so residents often book medical appointments in Manhattan out of habit. For a DEXA scan that's usually an unnecessary trip. There are partner clinics on the Queens side, and the test is identical wherever you take it, because DEXA is a standardized measurement rather than an operator-dependent one.

Frequently Asked Questions - Long Island City DEXA Scans
Where can I get a DEXA scan in Long Island City, NY?
NeXendo Wellness, at 36-36 33 St. in Long Island City, NY, runs DEXA scans for the Long Island City area. Call (718) 704-5376 or book through Dexascans.com to schedule your appointment.
How much does a DEXA scan cost in Long Island City?
There is no single Long Island City price: clinics publish their own rates, and cash-pay DEXA scans generally land between $99 and $250 by scan type. That still usually undercuts the $300-plus hospital imaging departments bill for comparable scans. Ask the clinic for its current rate when scheduling — HSA/FSA funds work at most.
Do I need a referral for a DEXA scan in Long Island City?
Only if you want insurance to pay. Self-pay booking at NeXendo Wellness needs no referral for either scan type; an insurance-billed bone density exam does need your physician to order it first.
Does insurance cover DEXA scans in Long Island City, New York?
Often, yes, but only for bone density. If a physician orders the scan as medically necessary, say after a referral from a doctor at a Queens County health system like Mount Sinai Queens & NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst, insurance usually covers it. Body composition scans booked for fitness reasons are self-pay. HSA and FSA cards work for both.
Which communities near Long Island City do you serve?
Besides Long Island City, we book scans for people in Queens, Brooklyn, New York City and White Plains, and across the rest of Queens County (718 area).
Which Long Island City ZIP codes are in the service area?
The Long Island City service area (718 area) covers 6 ZIP codes, among them 11101, 11102, 11103, 11104, 11106. The full list is on this page above the FAQ, with the ZIPs that have a clinic sitting in them highlighted.
Is a DEXA scan safe in Long Island City?
Yes. Nothing is injected and nothing encloses you: at NeXendo Wellness you lie on an open table for 10-15 minutes while the scanner arm passes overhead. The X-ray dose is roughly a tenth of a chest X-ray.
What does a full body DEXA scan measure in Long Island City?
One scan in Long Island City produces your body fat percentage, a limb-by-limb lean mass breakdown, a visceral fat reading, and bone mineral density. That combination is why a DEXA report replaces a stack of separate measurements, including the bone-density study a Mount Sinai Queens & NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst physician would order on its own.
How long does a DEXA scan appointment take in Long Island City?
Plan on 30 minutes in Long Island City — check-in, then 10-15 minutes on the table at NeXendo Wellness. Results follow within 24 hours, so a morning scan is a next-day answer.
What is the difference between a DXA scan and a DEXA scan?
No difference at all. "DXA" is the abbreviation radiology departments like Mount Sinai Queens & NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst use; "DEXA" is the one patients search for. Both name dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and both describe what you would book in Long Island City.
