What the Record Tells You

Lifecare Diagnostic Imaging INC is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 1117 Route 46, Suite # 102 in Clifton, New Jersey 07013. CMS issued NPI 1043762792 on 28 October 2016, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 28 October 2016. That was 9 years ago, so treat the phone number and suite as unverified until you have spoken to someone there.

The record carries one imaging taxonomy code: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) clinic/center (261QM1200X). 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. 2 other imaging records share this street address: Open MRI of Clifton, LLC and Diagnostic Imaging Associates LLC.

Clifton sits in the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ metropolitan area (Passaic 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 Open MRI of Clifton, LLC (0.0 miles, Clifton), Clifton Radiologist Associates (0.0 miles, Clifton) and Diagnostic Imaging Associates LLC (0.0 miles, Clifton), with 2 more within 0.9 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 (973) 777-8100 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.

Full list: cheap MRI, good MRI checklist.
