What the Record Tells You

Nydic Open MRI of America-Columbus, the trading name of Open MRI of Columbus, L.L.C., is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre and radiology clinic at 6096 E Main St, Ste 100 in Columbus, Ohio 43213. CMS issued NPI 1649273566 on 24 May 2005, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 11 September 2025. That is recent, so the contact details are likely current.

The record carries 2 imaging taxonomy codes: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) clinic/center (261QM1200X) and Radiology clinic/center (261QR0200X). 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 Cleveland Clinic Star Imaging (NPI 1306145040); they are covered by this page rather than given their own.

Columbus sits in the Columbus, OH metropolitan area (Franklin County), which has 49 imaging-centre records on the Ohio side in the September 2026 file, 6 of them with the MRI code, out of 364 across Ohio. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Advantage Diagnostics of Columbus-East (1.9 miles, Columbus), Horizon Open MRI - Columbus East (1.9 miles, Columbus) and Expert Ultrasound Services LLC (4.0 miles, Columbus), with 1 more within 5.1 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Ohio freestanding-centre estimate is $480 to $1,300 for a typical single-region MRI. At Ohio hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $224 to $2,702 for a brain MRI, median $1,275, from 57 of the 82 Ohio hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 118 in the state, files dated to September 2026. Published hospital cash prices in Columbus run from $1,274.65 (OhioHealth Doctors Hospital) to $1,274.65 (OhioHealth Doctors Hospital) for a brain MRI without contrast, from the hospitals' federal transparency files. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (614) 751-5000 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 Ohio: 57 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

$224 to $2,702
Median $1,275 cash against a median gross charge of $2,489, from 57 of the 82 Ohio hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 118 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Cleveland Clinic premium; Columbus and Cincinnati competitive. 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 5 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $3,267; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 4 more hospitals list this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $144 to $2,137, 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).

Parsed hospital cash prices for Columbus (brain MRI, CPT 70551): OhioHealth Doctors Hospital $1,274.65. Full table on the Columbus metro page.

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.
