What the Record Tells You

The MRI Center of Springfield, the trading name of Chelsea MRI PC, is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre and radiology clinic at 3640 Main St, Suite 101 in Springfield, Massachusetts 01107. CMS issued NPI 1376595470 on 17 May 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 21 June 2011. That was 15 years ago, so treat the phone number and suite as unverified until you have spoken to someone there.

The record carries 3 imaging taxonomy codes: Diagnostic radiology (physician specialty code carried by an organisation) (2085R0202X) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) clinic/center (261QM1200X) and Radiology clinic/center (261QR0200X). 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 a sibling registration at this address under the name Rayus Radiology (NPI 1821435553); they are covered by this page rather than given their own.

Springfield sits in the Springfield, MA metropolitan area (Hampden County), which has 11 imaging-centre records on the Massachusetts side in the September 2026 file, 6 of them with the MRI code, out of 183 across Massachusetts. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Baystate MRI & Imaging Center, LLC (0.2 miles, Springfield), Radiology & Imaging, INC. (0.6 miles, Springfield) and Greater Springfield MRI Limited Partnership (1.1 miles, Springfield), with 1 more within 1.1 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Massachusetts freestanding-centre estimate is $800 to $2,200 for a typical single-region MRI. At Massachusetts hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $449 to $3,858 for a brain MRI, median $1,582, 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. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (413) 781-9000 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 Massachusetts: 14 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$800 to $2,200
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$449 to $3,858
Median $1,582 cash 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.

Boston academic hospitals (MGH, BIDMC, BWH) at the very top end. 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 13 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $8,466; 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

  1. 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.
  2. Scanner field strength (1.5T or 3T) and whether it is closed, wide-bore or open.
  3. ACR or IAC accreditation, and who reads the images. The registry cannot tell you either.
  4. Whether they accept an order from a telehealth referral if you have no local doctor.
