Imaging Centers in Rhode Island: 38 MRI and Radiology Centre Records

The September 2026 NPI file lists 38 imaging organisations in Rhode Island: 6 registered under the MRI or radiology clinic codes (1, or 3%, with the MRI-specific code) and 32 diagnostic-radiology organisations classified by name. Providence-Warwick is the largest market with 38 records. 0 records sit outside the metro areas listed below or alone in a small area; they are listed on this page.

Price context: a single-region MRI in Rhode Island runs $700 to $1,800 cash at a freestanding centre, which is our own estimate. At hospitals it is measured, not estimated: a brain MRI runs $266 to $2,250 cash, median $1,184 against a median gross charge of $3,383, from 4 of the 7 Rhode Island hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 10 in the state, files dated to September 2026. A further 3 hospitals publish their chargemaster unchanged as a “cash price”, up to $2,134, and are not in that range. Lifespan and Care New England dominate; pricing closer to Boston than Hartford.

Cash price for a brain MRI in Rhode Island: 4 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$700 to $1,800
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$266 to $2,250
Median $1,184 cash against a median gross charge of $3,383, from 4 of the 7 Rhode Island hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 10 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Lifespan and Care New England dominate; pricing closer to Boston than Hartford. 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 3 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $2,134; 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).

Multi-Site Operators in Rhode Island

Registered organisation names appearing three or more times in Rhode Island: multi-site operators and chains, whose cash prices are usually set per company rather than per site.
