What the Record Tells You

Northern Light Radiology Associates, the trading name of Radiology Associates of South Carolina LLC, is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 1 Saint Francis Dr in Greenville, South Carolina 29601. CMS issued NPI 1083491906 on 13 September 2023, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 24 October 2025. That is recent, so the contact details are likely current.

The record carries 2 imaging taxonomy codes: Diagnostic radiology (physician specialty code carried by an organisation) (2085R0202X) and Radiology clinic/center (261QR0200X). It registered as a radiology clinic without the MRI-specific code, so ask which modalities it operates before assuming an MRI is available. One other imaging record shares this street address: Upstate Radiology Associates.

Greenville sits in the Greenville-Anderson-Greer, SC metropolitan area (Greenville County), which has 31 imaging-centre records on the South Carolina side in the September 2026 file, 1 of them with the MRI code, out of 175 across South Carolina. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Upstate Radiology Associates (0.0 miles, Greenville), American Health Imaging of Greenville Downtown (1.3 miles, Greenville) and Innervision MRI & Imaging at Grove (1.6 miles, Greenville), with 2 more within 1.8 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 (877) 224-8003 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 South Carolina: 19 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$470 to $1,250

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

Hospital outpatient, measured

$893 to $3,288

Median $3,147 cash against a median gross charge of $4,475, 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.

Charleston and Columbia have the most competitive networks. 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 $445; 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).

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.
