Illinois, NPI registry September 2026

Imaging Centers in Illinois: 528 MRI and Radiology Centre Records

The September 2026 NPI file lists 528 imaging organisations in Illinois: 265 registered under the MRI or radiology clinic codes (101, or 19%, with the MRI-specific code) and 263 diagnostic-radiology organisations classified by name. Chicago-Naperville-Elgin is the largest market with 416 records, followed by St. Louis (22), Marion-Herrin (8) and Mount Vernon (8). 21 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 Illinois runs $550 to $1,600 cash at a freestanding centre, which is our own estimate. At hospitals it is measured, not estimated: a brain MRI runs $254 to $4,532 cash, median $1,505 against a median gross charge of $3,962, from 47 of the 61 Illinois hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 114 in the state, files dated to September 2026. A further 7 hospitals publish their chargemaster unchanged as a “cash price”, up to $7,151, and are not in that range. Chicago academic medical centres (Northwestern, U of C) at the top end.

Cash-Price Context for Illinois

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 Illinois: 47 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$550 to $1,600
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$254 to $4,532
Median $1,505 cash against a median gross charge of $3,962, from 47 of the 61 Illinois hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 114 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Chicago academic medical centres (Northwestern, U of C) at the top end. 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 7 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $7,151; 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 $121 to $551, 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 Illinois
