What the Record Tells You

Novant Health Imaging Ballantyne, the trading name of Presbyterian Imaging Centers LLC, is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 14215 Ballantyne Corporate Place, Ste 140 in Charlotte, North Carolina 28277. CMS issued NPI 1194776765 on 16 May 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 19 March 2024. That was 2 years ago; the details are probably still current, but confirm the address when you book.

The record carries 2 imaging taxonomy codes: Diagnostic radiology (physician specialty code carried by an organisation) (2085R0202X) and 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. It also holds one other taxonomy code (293D00000X).

Charlotte sits in the Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia, NC-SC metropolitan area (Mecklenburg County), which has 45 imaging-centre records on the North Carolina side in the September 2026 file, 0 of them with the MRI code, out of 266 across North Carolina. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Ncdi-Mobile 3 (0.0 miles, Charlotte), Novant Health Imaging Conlan Circle (2.3 miles, Charlotte) and Orion Imaging, LLC (2.6 miles, Charlotte), with 2 more within 6.5 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) 384-1890 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

  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.
