Minnesota, NPI registry September 2026

Imaging Centers in Minnesota: 97 MRI and Radiology Centre Records

The September 2026 NPI file lists 97 imaging organisations in Minnesota: 56 registered under the MRI or radiology clinic codes (31, or 32%, with the MRI-specific code) and 41 diagnostic-radiology organisations classified by name. Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington is the largest market with 74 records, followed by Duluth (6), Brainerd (4) and St. Cloud (4). 5 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 Minnesota runs $550 to $1,500 cash at a freestanding centre, which is our own estimate. At hospitals it is measured, not estimated: a brain MRI runs $232 to $4,120 cash, median $1,281 against a median gross charge of $2,475, from 35 of the 38 Minnesota hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 45 in the state, files dated to August 2026. Mayo Clinic premium; Twin Cities competitive otherwise.

Cash-Price Context for Minnesota

Use these ranges as the benchmark when you call a listed centre for a self-pay quote. The registry holds no prices.

Cash price for a brain MRI in Minnesota: 35 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

$232 to $4,120
Median $1,281 cash against a median gross charge of $2,475, from 35 of the 38 Minnesota hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 45 in the state, files dated to August 2026.

Mayo Clinic premium; Twin Cities competitive otherwise. 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. 2 more hospitals list this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $118 to $524, 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).

Multi-Site Operators in Minnesota

Registered organisation names appearing three or more times in Minnesota: multi-site operators and chains, whose cash prices are usually set per company rather than per site.
