Louisiana, NPI registry September 2026

Imaging Centers in Louisiana: 195 MRI and Radiology Centre Records

The September 2026 NPI file lists 195 imaging organisations in Louisiana: 89 registered under the MRI or radiology clinic codes (35, or 18%, with the MRI-specific code) and 106 diagnostic-radiology organisations classified by name. Lafayette is the largest market with 35 records, followed by New Orleans-Metairie (29), Baton Rouge (22) and Slidell-Mandeville-Covington (20). 9 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 Louisiana runs $500 to $1,350 cash at a freestanding centre, which is our own estimate. At hospitals it is measured, not estimated: a brain MRI runs $257 to $2,814 cash, median $692 against a median gross charge of $2,476, from 45 of the 55 Louisiana hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 82 in the state, files dated to September 2026. A further 2 hospitals publish their chargemaster unchanged as a “cash price”, up to $3,110, and are not in that range. New Orleans Ochsner system is large; Baton Rouge competitive.

Cash-Price Context for Louisiana

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 Louisiana: 45 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$500 to $1,350
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$257 to $2,814
Median $692 cash against a median gross charge of $2,476, from 45 of the 55 Louisiana hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 82 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

New Orleans Ochsner system is large; Baton Rouge competitive. 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 2 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $3,110; 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 Louisiana

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