What the Record Tells You

Central Maine Imaging Center, the trading name of Central Maine Magnetic Imaging Associates, is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 287 Main St, Ste 100 in Lewiston, Maine 04240. CMS issued NPI 1962450650 on 4 May 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 4 April 2016. That was 10 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.

Lewiston sits in the Lewiston-Auburn, ME metropolitan area (Androscoggin County), which has 4 imaging-centre records on the Maine side in the September 2026 file, 1 of them with the MRI code, out of 50 across Maine. The nearest alternatives in the registry are X-Ray Professional Association (0.2 miles, Lewiston), Rayus Radiology Auburn (1.4 miles, Auburn) and Cmic MRI-Auburn (2.4 miles, Auburn), with 2 more within 19 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Maine freestanding-centre estimate is $550 to $1,500 for a typical single-region MRI. At Maine hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $235 to $1,691 for a brain MRI, median $655, from 7 of the 12 Maine hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 13 in the state, files dated to July 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (207) 795-2030 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 Maine: 7 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$550 to $1,500

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

Hospital outpatient, measured

$235 to $1,691

Median $655 cash against a median gross charge of $1,849, from 7 of the 12 Maine hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 13 in the state, files dated to July 2026.

Portland and Bangor have the only competitive imaging markets. 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 3 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $1,849; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 1 more hospital lists this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $62 to $62, 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.
