What the Record Tells You

Physicians Imaging - Sulphur Associates, LLC is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 250 Beglis Pkwy, Suite 2 in Sulphur, Louisiana 70663. CMS issued NPI 1700070141 on 29 August 2007, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 29 August 2007. That was 19 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. The same business holds 2 sibling registrations at this address under the names The Diagnostic Center of West Calcasieu Cameron Hospital (NPI 1245817626) and Physicians Imaging - Sulphur, LLC (NPI 1407927643); they are covered by this page rather than given their own.

Sulphur sits in the Lake Charles, LA metropolitan area (Calcasieu Parish), which has 19 imaging-centre records on the Louisiana side in the September 2026 file, 1 of them with the MRI code, out of 195 across Louisiana. The nearest alternatives in the registry are The Westlake Diagnostic Center of West Calcasieu Cameron Hospital (8.9 miles, Westlake), Gulf Coast Radiology LLC (10 miles, Lake Charles) and Avail Lc Radiology (11 miles, Lake Charles).

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Louisiana freestanding-centre estimate is $500 to $1,350 for a typical single-region MRI. At Louisiana hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $257 to $2,814 for a brain MRI, median $692, 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. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (337) 310-8834 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 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).

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.
