What the Record Tells You

Vanguard Imaging Partners LLC is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre and radiology clinic at 1525 E Stroop Rd in Dayton, Ohio 45429. CMS issued NPI 1770742728 on 5 June 2008, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 5 June 2008. That was 18 years ago, so treat the phone number and suite as unverified until you have spoken to someone there.

The record carries 3 imaging taxonomy codes: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) clinic/center (261QM1200X) and Radiology clinic/center (261QR0200X) and Mammography clinic/center (261QR0206X). 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. CMS records it as a subpart of Vanguard Imaging Partners LLC, so pricing may follow the parent's policies. CMS also holds a second NPI for the same organisation at this address (1982725826), folded into this listing.

Dayton sits in the Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH metropolitan area (Montgomery County), which has 28 imaging-centre records on the Ohio side in the September 2026 file, 9 of them with the MRI code, out of 364 across Ohio. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Nydic Open MRI of America-Kettering, LLC (1.2 miles, Kettering), Kettering Radiologist Imaging Center (1.3 miles, Kettering) and Lincoln Park Surgery Center (1.3 miles, Kettering), with 2 more within 2.0 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. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (937) 208-7411 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).

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.
