Imaging Centers in Iowa: 74 MRI and Radiology Centre Records

The September 2026 NPI file lists 74 imaging organisations in Iowa: 24 registered under the MRI or radiology clinic codes (9, or 12%, with the MRI-specific code) and 50 diagnostic-radiology organisations classified by name. Des Moines-West Des Moines is the largest market with 18 records, followed by Davenport-Moline-Rock Island (5), Iowa City (5) and Mason City (5). 14 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 Iowa runs $480 to $1,250 cash at a freestanding centre, which is our own estimate. At hospitals it is measured, not estimated: a brain MRI runs $900 to $4,896 cash, median $2,034 against a median gross charge of $2,851, from 20 of the 22 Iowa hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 30 in the state, files dated to September 2026. A further 1 hospital publishes their chargemaster unchanged as a “cash price”, up to $229, and are not in that range. Des Moines and Iowa City have the most providers.

Cash-Price Context for Iowa

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 Iowa: 20 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$480 to $1,250
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$900 to $4,896
Median $2,034 cash against a median gross charge of $2,851, from 20 of the 22 Iowa hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 30 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Des Moines and Iowa City have the most providers. 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 $229; 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).

Multi-Site Operators in Iowa

Registered organisation names appearing three or more times in Iowa: multi-site operators and chains, whose cash prices are usually set per company rather than per site.
