Alabama, NPI registry September 2026

Imaging Centers in Alabama: 172 MRI and Radiology Centre Records

The September 2026 NPI file lists 172 imaging organisations in Alabama: 82 registered under the MRI or radiology clinic codes (23, or 13%, with the MRI-specific code) and 90 diagnostic-radiology organisations classified by name. Birmingham is the largest market with 50 records, followed by Montgomery (17), Huntsville (11) and Gadsden (9). 16 records sit outside the metro areas listed below or alone in a small area; they are listed on this page.

Price context: a single-region MRI in Alabama runs $450 to $1,100 cash at a freestanding centre, which is our own estimate. At hospitals it is measured, not estimated: a brain MRI runs $85 to $2,153 cash, median $1,381 against a median gross charge of $3,470, from 14 of the 19 Alabama hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 73 in the state, files dated to September 2026. A further 2 hospitals publish their chargemaster unchanged as a “cash price”, up to $12,398, and are not in that range. Birmingham and Huntsville have the most independent imaging centres.

Cash-Price Context for Alabama

Use these ranges as the benchmark when you call a listed centre for a self-pay quote. The registry holds no prices.

Cash price for a brain MRI in Alabama: 14 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$450 to $1,100
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$85 to $2,153
Median $1,381 cash against a median gross charge of $3,470, from 14 of the 19 Alabama hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 73 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Birmingham and Huntsville have the most independent imaging centres. The hospital figures are CPT 70551, brain MRI without contrast, taken from each hospital's own federal transparency file and attributed to the date that file carries. A further 2 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $12,398; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 1 more hospital lists this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $280 to $280, so which row is the scan cannot be told from the file; they are excluded from the band and counted here. Hospitals whose file we could not read are named, not filled in (methodology).

Multi-Site Operators in Alabama

Registered organisation names appearing three or more times in Alabama: multi-site operators and chains, whose cash prices are usually set per company rather than per site.
