What the Record Tells You

Cancer Care Specialists, the trading name of John A Shields MD and Steven A Schiff MD A Professional Corporation, is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 5423 Reno Corporate Dr in Reno, Nevada 89511. CMS issued NPI 1861514580 on 4 April 2007, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 20 February 2025. That is recent, so the contact details are likely current.

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 3 other taxonomy codes (207RH0003X, 332900000X, 261QI0500X). CMS also holds a second NPI for the same organisation at this address (1962913590), folded into this listing.

Reno sits in the Reno, NV metropolitan area (Washoe County), which has 12 imaging-centre records on the Nevada side in the September 2026 file, 0 of them with the MRI code, out of 93 across Nevada. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Advanced Imaging Reno (1.4 miles, Reno), Reno Diagnostic Center Sierra Rose (1.8 miles, Reno) and Northstar Imaging INC (2.9 miles, Reno), with 2 more within 3.4 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Nevada freestanding-centre estimate is $520 to $1,400 for a typical single-region MRI. At Nevada hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $259 to $2,189 for a brain MRI, median $1,977, from 5 of the 8 Nevada hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 22 in the state, files dated to July 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (775) 329-0873 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 Nevada: 5 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$520 to $1,400

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

Hospital outpatient, measured

$259 to $2,189

Median $1,977 cash against a median gross charge of $3,922, from 5 of the 8 Nevada hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 22 in the state, files dated to July 2026.

Las Vegas dominates; Reno secondary market. 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 $1,097; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 1 more hospital lists this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $75 to $75, 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).

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.
