What the Record Tells You
Carolina Radiological Associates, LLC is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre and radiology clinic at 302 University Prkwy. in Aiken, South Carolina 29802. CMS issued NPI 1356443683 on 5 September 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 31 August 2021. That was 5 years ago, so treat the phone number and suite as unverified until you have spoken to someone there.
The record carries 4 imaging taxonomy codes: Diagnostic radiology (physician specialty code carried by an organisation) (2085R0202X) and 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. It also holds 7 other taxonomy codes (2085B0100X, 2085D0003X, 2085N0700X, 2085N0904X, 2085P0229X, 2085R0204X, 2085U0001X).
Aiken sits in the Augusta-Richmond County, GA-SC metropolitan area (Aiken County), which has 4 imaging-centre records on the South Carolina side in the September 2026 file, 2 of them with the MRI code, out of 175 across South Carolina. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Universal Radiology Partners of South Carolina (0.0 miles, Aiken), Southside Imaging Center LLC (6.5 miles, Aiken) and Doctors Hospital North Augusta Imaging Center LLC (11 miles, North Augusta), with 2 more within 15 miles.
For a cash-pay benchmark, our South Carolina freestanding-centre estimate is $470 to $1,250 for a typical single-region MRI. At South Carolina hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $893 to $3,288 for a brain MRI, median $3,147, from 19 of the 21 South Carolina hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 51 in the state, files dated to July 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (706) 737-4575 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
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.
