What the Record Tells You

Samaritan Willamette Valley Open MRI, the trading name of Samaritan Open MRI LLC, is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 400 NW Hickory Street in Albany, Oregon 97321. CMS issued NPI 1417098252 on 12 February 2007, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 24 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 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.

Albany sits in the Corvallis, OR metropolitan area (Benton County), which has 5 imaging-centre records on the Oregon side in the September 2026 file, 3 of them with the MRI code, out of 130 across Oregon. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Corvallis MRI (7.5 miles, Corvallis), Hull Imaging LLC (7.5 miles, Corvallis) and Lazarus 3D, INC. (8.0 miles, Corvallis), with 2 more within 12 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Oregon freestanding-centre estimate is $600 to $1,600 for a typical single-region MRI. At Oregon hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $934 to $2,579 for a brain MRI, median $1,540, from 22 of the 28 Oregon hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 32 in the state, files dated to September 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (541) 812-4135 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 Oregon: 22 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$600 to $1,600

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

Hospital outpatient, measured

$934 to $2,579

Median $1,540 cash against a median gross charge of $2,100, from 22 of the 28 Oregon hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 32 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Portland market competitive; OHSU at the top. 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 1 hospital publishes a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $1,933; 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 $265 to $2,279, 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.
