What the Record Tells You

Journal Square Open MRI, the trading name of Apex Radiology LLC, is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 244 Saint Pauls Ave in Jersey City, New Jersey 07306. CMS issued NPI 1558125716 on 8 February 2024, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 13 February 2024. That was 2 years ago; the details are probably still current, but confirm the address when you book.

The record carries 2 imaging taxonomy codes: Diagnostic radiology (physician specialty code carried by an organisation) (2085R0202X) and 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. CMS also holds a second NPI for the same organisation at this address (1659061331), folded into this listing.

Jersey City sits in the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ metropolitan area (Hudson County), which has 432 imaging-centre records on the New Jersey side in the September 2026 file, 62 of them with the MRI code, out of 539 across New Jersey. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Hds Medical Imaging LLC (0.2 miles, Jersey City), Pavonia Medical Imaging INC (0.4 miles, Jersey City) and Pavonia Diagnostic Imaging, PA (0.4 miles, Jersey City), with 2 more within 0.4 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our New Jersey freestanding-centre estimate is $700 to $1,900 for a typical single-region MRI. At New Jersey hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $264 to $3,020 for a brain MRI, median $352, from 40 of the 53 New Jersey hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 61 in the state, files dated to September 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (201) 201-3500 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 New Jersey: 40 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$700 to $1,900

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

Hospital outpatient, measured

$264 to $3,020

Median $352 cash against a median gross charge of $4,073, from 40 of the 53 New Jersey hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 61 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Northern NJ priced like NYC metro; southern NJ closer to Philly. 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 8 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $10,725; 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 $323 to $323, 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.
