What the Record Tells You

Open MRI & Imaging Center of Elkton, LLC is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 301 Augustine Herman Hwy, Ste A in Elkton, Maryland 21921. CMS issued NPI 1598702870 on 2 June 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 8 October 2025. That is recent, so the contact details are likely current.

The record carries 2 imaging taxonomy codes: Diagnostic radiology (physician specialty code carried by an organisation) (2085R0202X) and 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. It also holds one other taxonomy code (261QM1300X).

Elkton sits in the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD metropolitan area (Cecil County), which has 5 imaging-centre records on the Maryland side in the September 2026 file, 0 of them with the MRI code, out of 348 across Maryland. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Tri-State MRI & Imaging, LLC (0.6 miles, Elkton), Union Radiology Associates (1.3 miles, Elkton) and Union Hospital Radiology (1.3 miles, Elkton), with 2 more within 5.4 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Maryland freestanding-centre estimate is $700 to $1,900 for a typical single-region MRI. At Maryland hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $247 to $1,832 for a brain MRI, median $513, from 16 of the 23 Maryland hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 43 in the state, files dated to June 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (410) 620-1900 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 Maryland: 16 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$700 to $1,900

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

Hospital outpatient, measured

$247 to $1,832

Median $513 cash against a median gross charge of $556, from 16 of the 23 Maryland hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 43 in the state, files dated to June 2026.

Maryland uses all-payer hospital rate setting; cash-pay still high at academic centres. 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 $2,126; 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.
