Imaging Centers in Arizona: 360 MRI and Radiology Centre Records

The September 2026 NPI file lists 360 imaging organisations in Arizona: 140 registered under the MRI or radiology clinic codes (32, or 9%, with the MRI-specific code) and 220 diagnostic-radiology organisations classified by name. Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler is the largest market with 262 records, followed by Tucson (40), Lake Havasu City-Kingman (24) and Yuma (12). 3 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 Arizona runs $500 to $1,400 cash at a freestanding centre, which is our own estimate. At hospitals it is measured, not estimated: a brain MRI runs $347 to $5,618 cash, median $516 against a median gross charge of $3,014, from 27 of the 45 Arizona hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 66 in the state, files dated to August 2026. A further 8 hospitals publish their chargemaster unchanged as a “cash price”, up to $3,014, and are not in that range. Phoenix and Tucson markets are competitive with growing freestanding networks.

Cash-Price Context for Arizona

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 Arizona: 27 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$500 to $1,400

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

Hospital outpatient, measured

$347 to $5,618

Median $516 cash against a median gross charge of $3,014, from 27 of the 45 Arizona hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 66 in the state, files dated to August 2026.

Phoenix and Tucson markets are competitive with growing freestanding networks. 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 8 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $3,014; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 3 more hospitals list this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $116 to $446, 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 Arizona

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