What the Record Tells You

Arkansas Specialty MRI Center, the trading name of Orthoarkansas, PA, is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 3480 Landers Rd in North Little Rock, Arkansas 72117. CMS issued NPI 1326546672 on 31 January 2018, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 24 June 2021. That was 5 years ago, so treat the phone number and suite as unverified until you have spoken to someone there.

The record carries one imaging taxonomy code: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) clinic/center (261QM1200X). The MRI-specific code means the organisation registered itself as a magnetic resonance imaging centre, the strongest signal the registry gives that a scanner is on site. It also holds one other taxonomy code (174400000X).

North Little Rock sits in the Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway, AR metropolitan area (Pulaski County), which has 32 imaging-centre records on the Arkansas side in the September 2026 file, 10 of them with the MRI code, out of 108 across Arkansas. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Imaging Solutions of Arkansas, LLC (0.5 miles, N Little Rock), North Lr Medical Imaging LLC (0.5 miles, N Little Rock) and Stonebriar Imaging of North Little Rock LLC (0.5 miles, N Little Rock), with 2 more within 0.7 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Arkansas freestanding-centre estimate is $450 to $1,050 for a typical single-region MRI. At Arkansas hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $255 to $2,476 for a brain MRI, median $1,187, from 11 of the 19 Arkansas hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 42 in the state, files dated to July 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (501) 978-3135 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 Arkansas: 11 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$450 to $1,050

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

Hospital outpatient, measured

$255 to $2,476

Median $1,187 cash against a median gross charge of $3,036, from 11 of the 19 Arkansas hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 42 in the state, files dated to July 2026.

Little Rock dominates supply; rural costs higher. 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 $3,050; 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 $150 to $150, 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).

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.
