What the Record Tells You

Prospect Diagnostic Imaging is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre and radiology clinic at 166 Waterbury Road, Rte 69 in Prospect, Connecticut 06712. CMS issued NPI 1154343739 on 24 July 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 6 June 2013. That was 13 years ago, so treat the phone number and suite as unverified until you have spoken to someone there.

The record carries 2 imaging taxonomy codes: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) clinic/center (261QM1200X) and Radiology clinic/center (261QR0200X). 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. CMS records it as a subpart of Naugatuck Valley Radiological Assoc., so pricing may follow the parent's policies.

Prospect sits in the New Haven, CT metropolitan area (New Haven County), which has 33 imaging-centre records on the Connecticut side in the September 2026 file, 5 of them with the MRI code, out of 118 across Connecticut. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Naugatuck Valley Radiological Associates PC (1.6 miles, Waterbury), Radiology Associates of Waterbury, PC (3.1 miles, Waterbury) and Naugatuck Diagnostic Imaging (3.7 miles, Naugatuck), with 2 more within 4.0 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Connecticut freestanding-centre estimate is $750 to $2,000 for a typical single-region MRI. At Connecticut hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $1,085 to $2,122 for a brain MRI, median $1,626, from 4 of the 11 Connecticut hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 26 in the state, files dated to August 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (203) 758-7700 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 Connecticut: 4 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$750 to $2,000

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

Hospital outpatient, measured

$1,085 to $2,122

Median $1,626 cash against a median gross charge of $2,063, from 4 of the 11 Connecticut hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 26 in the state, files dated to August 2026.

Hartford and Yale-area hospitals push the top end 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 5 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $2,182; 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.
