What the Record Tells You

Metropolitan Radiology Associates Chartered is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 1150 Varnum St NE in Washington, District of Columbia 20017. CMS issued NPI 1942392667 on 29 September 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 18 November 2010. That was 15 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: 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. One other imaging record shares this street address: The Providence Diagnostic Imaging Center.

Washington sits in the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV metropolitan area (District of Columbia), which has 18 imaging-centre records on the District of Columbia side in the September 2026 file, 1 of them with the MRI code, out of 18 across District of Columbia. The nearest alternatives in the registry are The Providence Diagnostic Imaging Center (0.0 miles, Washington), Center Radiology PC (1.4 miles, Washington) and Medstar Medical Group Radiology, LLC (1.4 miles, Washington), with 2 more within 3.6 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our District of Columbia freestanding-centre estimate is $800 to $2,100 for a typical single-region MRI. At hospitals our estimate is $2,800 to $7,800; we have not yet read this state's hospital price files. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (202) 269-7000 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

Estimated cash price for a single-region MRI in District of Columbia

Freestanding imaging centre

$800 to $2,100

Hospital outpatient

$2,800 to $7,800

DC metro hospitals among the most expensive in the country. These ranges are our own estimates for the state, not measured prices and not quotes from any listed centre: no source publishes a per-state MRI cash price. Where we have parsed the hospitals' own price files the real spread is much wider, and those measured figures always appear in place of this panel (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.

Full list: cheap MRI, good MRI checklist.
