What the Record Tells You

Columbus Diagnostic Imaging, the trading name of Columbus Area Radiology LLC, is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 790 Creekview Dr in Columbus, Indiana 47201. CMS issued NPI 1891800959 on 20 August 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 22 August 2020. That was 6 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. The same business holds a sibling registration at this address under the name Columbus Diagnostic Imaging, LLC (NPI 1538405477); they are covered by this page rather than given their own.

Columbus sits in the Columbus, IN metropolitan area (Bartholomew County), which has 4 imaging-centre records on the Indiana side in the September 2026 file, 0 of them with the MRI code, out of 191 across Indiana. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Columbus Radiology INC (0.9 miles, Columbus), Columbus Radiology Physicians LLC (0.9 miles, Columbus) and Radiology Associates of Muncie, INC. (17 miles, Seymour), with 1 more within 22 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Indiana freestanding-centre estimate is $480 to $1,300 for a typical single-region MRI. At Indiana hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $137 to $3,765 for a brain MRI, median $693, from 24 of the 31 Indiana hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 82 in the state, files dated to September 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (812) 376-1000 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 Indiana: 24 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$480 to $1,300

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

Hospital outpatient, measured

$137 to $3,765

Median $693 cash against a median gross charge of $2,032, from 24 of the 31 Indiana hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 82 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Indianapolis dominates; IU Health and Community Health are large systems. 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 1 hospital publishes a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $3,750; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 2 more hospitals list this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $496 to $2,688, 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.
