What the Record Tells You

Mason City Imaging Partners LLC is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 520 S Pierce Ave in Mason City, Iowa 50401. CMS issued NPI 1558325829 on 13 April 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: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) clinic/center (261QM1200X). 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.

Mason City sits in the Mason City, IA micropolitan area (Cerro Gordo County), which has 5 imaging-centre records on the Iowa side in the September 2026 file, 2 of them with the MRI code, out of 74 across Iowa. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Magnetic Resonance Services Ptr (0.3 miles, Mason City), Radiologists of North Iowa PC (0.3 miles, Mason City) and Mercy Network Radiology (0.3 miles, Mason City), with 1 more within 0.3 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Iowa freestanding-centre estimate is $480 to $1,250 for a typical single-region MRI. At Iowa hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $900 to $4,896 for a brain MRI, median $2,034, 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. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (641) 422-6767 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 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).

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.
