What the Record Tells You

Independent MRI, the trading name of Independent MRI Center LLC, is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 1750 E 30TH St in Farmington, New Mexico 87401. CMS issued NPI 1396703096 on 2 May 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 5 January 2012. That was 14 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.

Farmington sits in the Farmington, NM metropolitan area (San Juan County), which has 4 imaging-centre records on the New Mexico side in the September 2026 file, 1 of them with the MRI code, out of 56 across New Mexico. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Medical Diagnostic Services LTD (2.8 miles, Farmington), Four Corners Radiology Associates PC (2.8 miles, Farmington) and Mercy Diagnostic Services- Aztec (11 miles, Aztec), with 2 more within 39 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our New Mexico freestanding-centre estimate is $500 to $1,300 for a typical single-region MRI. At New Mexico hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $569 to $4,156 for a brain MRI, median $2,141, from 8 of the 9 New Mexico hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 26 in the state, files dated to July 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (505) 327-0123 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 Mexico: 8 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$500 to $1,300

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

Hospital outpatient, measured

$569 to $4,156

Median $2,141 cash against a median gross charge of $5,454, from 8 of the 9 New Mexico hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 26 in the state, files dated to July 2026.

Albuquerque the main competitive 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. 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.
