What the Record Tells You

Picture Perfect Ultrasound, the trading name of Clearview Sonographics LLC, is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 1216 16TH St W Ste 21 in Billings, Montana 59102. CMS issued NPI 1730454414 on 14 March 2012, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 17 July 2023. That was 3 years ago; the details are probably still current, but confirm the address when you book.

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. It also holds one other taxonomy code (2085U0001X).

Billings sits in the Billings, MT metropolitan area (Yellowstone County), which has 9 imaging-centre records on the Montana side in the September 2026 file, 5 of them with the MRI code, out of 47 across Montana. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Yellowstone Vein Center (2.0 miles, Billings), Svh Radiation Oncology (2.0 miles, Billings) and Billings MRI Center, LLC. (2.0 miles, Billings), with 2 more within 2.2 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Montana freestanding-centre estimate is $550 to $1,400 for a typical single-region MRI. At hospitals our estimate is $1,900 to $5,200; we have not yet read this state's hospital price files. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (406) 969-4340 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

Estimated cash price for a single-region MRI in Montana

Freestanding imaging centre

$550 to $1,400

Hospital outpatient

$1,900 to $5,200

Billings and Bozeman the only competitive metros. These ranges are our own estimates for the state, not measured prices and not quotes from any listed centre: no source publishes a per-state MRI cash price. Where we have parsed the hospitals' own price files the real spread is much wider, and those measured figures always appear in place of this panel (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.

Full list: cheap MRI, good MRI checklist.
