What the Record Tells You

Third Avenue Imaging LLC is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 2781 3RD Ave in Bronx, New York 10455. CMS issued NPI 1619416229 on 15 February 2017, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 15 February 2017. 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. The same business holds a sibling registration at this address under the name Third Avenue Open MRI (NPI 1972924017); they are covered by this page rather than given their own.

Bronx sits in the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ metropolitan area (Bronx County), which has 638 imaging-centre records on the New York side in the September 2026 file, 36 of them with the MRI code, out of 892 across New York. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Universal Open MRI (0.3 miles, Bronx), Hedayati Medical PC (0.3 miles, Bronx) and DBA: Stand-Up MRI of the South Bronx (0.3 miles, Bronx), with 1 more within 1.4 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 (718) 742-0700 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

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.
