What the Record Tells You

Atrium Health Imaging Locust, the trading name of West Stanly Imaging LLC, is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre and radiology clinic at 103 Stanly Pkwy, Suite E in Locust, North Carolina 28097. CMS issued NPI 1124294194 on 30 April 2008, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 15 September 2021. That was 4 years ago; the details are probably still current, but confirm the address when you book.

The record carries 2 imaging taxonomy codes: Radiology clinic/center (261QR0200X) and 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. It also holds one other taxonomy code (293D00000X). One other imaging record shares this street address: Carolinas Healthcare System Imaging. CMS also holds a second NPI for the same organisation at this address (1528567088), folded into this listing.

Locust sits in the Albemarle, NC micropolitan area (Stanly County), which has 3 imaging-centre records on the North Carolina side in the September 2026 file, 1 of them with the MRI code, out of 266 across North Carolina. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Carolinas Healthcare System Imaging (0.0 miles, Locust), Novant Health Imaging Cabarrus (12 miles, Charlotte) and Novant Health Imaging Copperfield (16 miles, Concord), with 2 more within 16 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our North Carolina freestanding-centre estimate is $480 to $1,300 for a typical single-region MRI. At North Carolina hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $876 to $4,364 for a brain MRI, median $1,883, from 40 of the 47 North Carolina hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 80 in the state, files dated to September 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (704) 781-0003 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 North Carolina: 40 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$480 to $1,300

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

Hospital outpatient, measured

$876 to $4,364

Median $1,883 cash against a median gross charge of $3,735, from 40 of the 47 North Carolina hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 80 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro all competitive; Duke and UNC are large systems. 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 4 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $5,781; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 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.
