What the Record Tells You

Alaska Family Sonograms, INC is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 3600 Lake Otis Pkwy Ste 101 in Anchorage, Alaska 99508. CMS issued NPI 1518033281 on 27 November 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 21 July 2022. That was 4 years ago; the details are probably still current, but confirm the address when you book.

The record carries one imaging taxonomy code: Radiology clinic/center (261QR0200X). It registered as a radiology clinic without the MRI-specific code, so ask which modalities it operates before assuming an MRI is available.

Anchorage sits in the Anchorage, AK metropolitan area (Anchorage Municipality), which has 18 imaging-centre records on the Alaska side in the September 2026 file, 0 of them with the MRI code, out of 42 across Alaska. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Imaging Associates (0.3 miles, Anchorage), Diagnostic Health Alaska (0.3 miles, Anchorage) and Matrix Radiology Associates, LLC (0.5 miles, Anchorage), with 2 more within 0.5 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Alaska freestanding-centre estimate is $800 to $2,200 for a typical single-region MRI. At Alaska hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $1,541 to $4,177 for a brain MRI, median $2,998, from 3 of the 7 Alaska hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 8 in the state, files dated to August 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (907) 561-3601 with the CPT code for your scan and ask for the self-pay rate, whether the radiologist's report is included, and the scanner's field strength.

Cash-Price Benchmark

Cash price for a brain MRI in Alaska: 3 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$800 to $2,200

Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$1,541 to $4,177

Median $2,998 cash against a median gross charge of $4,786, from 3 of the 7 Alaska hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 8 in the state, files dated to August 2026.

Limited competition outside Anchorage drives prices up. 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 3 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $5,282; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. Hospitals whose file we could not read are named, not filled in (methodology).

What to ask when you call

The self-pay price for your exact CPT code (70551 brain, 72148 lumbar spine, 73221 or 73721 joint, without contrast), and whether the radiologist's report is included.
Scanner field strength (1.5T or 3T) and whether it is closed, wide-bore or open.
ACR or IAC accreditation, and who reads the images. The registry cannot tell you either.
Whether they accept an order from a telehealth referral if you have no local doctor.
