New York, NPI registry September 2026

Imaging Centers in New York: 892 MRI and Radiology Centre Records

The September 2026 NPI file lists 892 imaging organisations in New York: 221 registered under the MRI or radiology clinic codes (52, or 6%, with the MRI-specific code) and 671 diagnostic-radiology organisations classified by name. New York-Newark-Jersey City is the largest market with 638 records, followed by Buffalo-Cheektowaga (56), Kiryas Joel-Poughkeepsie-Newburgh (45) and Albany-Schenectady-Troy (35). 16 records sit outside the metro areas listed below or alone in a small area; they are listed on this page.

Price context: a single-region MRI in New York runs $800 to $2,200 cash at a freestanding centre, which is our own estimate. At hospitals it is measured, not estimated: a brain MRI runs $244 to $5,511 cash, median $812 against a median gross charge of $2,003, from 47 of the 74 New York hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 128 in the state, files dated to September 2026. A further 15 hospitals publish their chargemaster unchanged as a “cash price”, up to $6,405, and are not in that range. NYC academic hospitals (NYU, Cornell, Mt Sinai) top the national list.

Cash-Price Context for New York

Use these ranges as the benchmark when you call a listed centre for a self-pay quote. The registry holds no prices.

Cash price for a brain MRI in New York: 47 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$800 to $2,200
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$244 to $5,511
Median $812 cash against a median gross charge of $2,003, from 47 of the 74 New York hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 128 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

NYC academic hospitals (NYU, Cornell, Mt Sinai) top the national list. 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 15 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $6,405; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 2 more hospitals list this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $77 to $177, 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).

Multi-Site Operators in New York

Registered organisation names appearing three or more times in New York: multi-site operators and chains, whose cash prices are usually set per company rather than per site.
