Tennessee, NPI registry September 2026

Imaging Centers in Tennessee: 187 MRI and Radiology Centre Records

The September 2026 NPI file lists 187 imaging organisations in Tennessee: 71 registered under the MRI or radiology clinic codes (16, or 9%, with the MRI-specific code) and 116 diagnostic-radiology organisations classified by name. Nashville-Davidson--Murfreesboro--Franklin is the largest market with 60 records, followed by Knoxville (32), Memphis (23) and Chattanooga (13). 19 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 Tennessee runs $450 to $1,100 cash at a freestanding centre, which is our own estimate. At hospitals it is measured, not estimated: a brain MRI runs $123 to $1,911 cash, median $710 against a median gross charge of $3,823, from 34 of the 39 Tennessee hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 78 in the state, files dated to August 2026. A further 2 hospitals publish their chargemaster unchanged as a “cash price”, up to $10,890, and are not in that range. Among the lowest-cost states in the US for MRI.

Cash-Price Context for Tennessee

Use these ranges as the benchmark when you call a listed centre for a self-pay quote. The registry holds no prices.

Cash price for a brain MRI in Tennessee: 34 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$450 to $1,100
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$123 to $1,911
Median $710 cash against a median gross charge of $3,823, from 34 of the 39 Tennessee hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 78 in the state, files dated to August 2026.

Among the lowest-cost states in the US for MRI. 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 2 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $10,890; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 1 more hospital lists this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $86 to $86, 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).

Multi-Site Operators in Tennessee

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