What the Record Tells You

Children's Diagnostic Testing Group of Aventura, INC. is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre and radiology clinic at 18851 NE 29TH Ave, Suite 201 in Aventura, Florida 33180. CMS issued NPI 1184834004 on 22 May 2007, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 11 September 2025. That is recent, so the contact details are likely current.

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. It also holds one other taxonomy code (261QM1300X). The same business holds 3 sibling registrations at this address under the names Aventura Diagnostic Testing Group INC (NPI 1063541712), Waterways Imaging INC (NPI 1952430605) and Health Diagnostics of Aventura (NPI 1700016086); they are covered by this page rather than given their own. 6 other imaging records share this street address: Unique Imaging, Ics Radiology, INC. and Sheridan Radiology Services of Central Florida INC. and 3 more.

Aventura sits in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL metropolitan area (Miami-Dade County), which has 825 imaging-centre records on the Florida side in the September 2026 file, 178 of them with the MRI code, out of 2,076 across Florida. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Unique Imaging (0.0 miles, Aventura) and Ics Radiology, INC. (0.0 miles, Aventura).

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Florida freestanding-centre estimate is $500 to $1,500 for a typical single-region MRI. At Florida hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $243 to $4,532 for a brain MRI, median $1,360, from 39 of the 73 Florida hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 167 in the state, files dated to September 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (305) 275-6069 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 Florida: 39 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$500 to $1,500
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$243 to $4,532
Median $1,360 cash against a median gross charge of $4,831, from 39 of the 73 Florida hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 167 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Strong independent imaging centre network statewide; Miami metro priced 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 32 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $18,295; 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 $1,283 to $1,283, 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

  1. 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.
  2. Scanner field strength (1.5T or 3T) and whether it is closed, wide-bore or open.
  3. ACR or IAC accreditation, and who reads the images. The registry cannot tell you either.
  4. Whether they accept an order from a telehealth referral if you have no local doctor.

Full list: cheap MRI, good MRI checklist.
