What the Record Tells You

Ulster Medical Imaging is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 550 Route 299 in Highland, New York 12528. CMS issued NPI 1376880906 on 16 January 2013, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 16 January 2013. That was 13 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: 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.

Highland sits in the Kingston, NY metropolitan area (Ulster County), which has 7 imaging-centre records on the New York side in the September 2026 file, 0 of them with the MRI code, out of 892 across New York. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Hudson Valley Radiologists, PC (2.8 miles, New Paltz), Radiology Associates of Poughkeepsie (5.4 miles, Poughkeepsie) and Hudson Valley Radiologists, PC (5.6 miles, Poughkeepsie), with 2 more within 5.7 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our New York freestanding-centre estimate is $800 to $2,200 for a typical single-region MRI. At New York hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $244 to $5,511 for a brain MRI, median $812, 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. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (845) 430-8559 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 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).

What to ask when you call

  1. 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.
  2. Scanner field strength (1.5T or 3T) and whether it is closed, wide-bore or open.
  3. ACR or IAC accreditation, and who reads the images. The registry cannot tell you either.
  4. Whether they accept an order from a telehealth referral if you have no local doctor.

Full list: cheap MRI, good MRI checklist.
