Imaging Centers in Massachusetts: 183 MRI and Radiology Centre Records
The September 2026 NPI file lists 183 imaging organisations in Massachusetts: 83 registered under the MRI or radiology clinic codes (43, or 23%, with the MRI-specific code) and 100 diagnostic-radiology organisations classified by name. Boston-Cambridge-Newton is the largest market with 127 records, followed by Worcester (19), Springfield (11) and Providence-Warwick (10). 0 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 Massachusetts runs $800 to $2,200 cash at a freestanding centre, which is our own estimate. At hospitals it is measured, not estimated: a brain MRI runs $449 to $3,858 cash, median $1,582 against a median gross charge of $2,376, from 14 of the 27 Massachusetts hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 55 in the state, files dated to June 2026. A further 13 hospitals publish their chargemaster unchanged as a “cash price”, up to $8,466, and are not in that range. Boston academic hospitals (MGH, BIDMC, BWH) at the very top end.
