What the Record Tells You

East Tennessee Community Open MRI is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 1415 Old Weisgarber Rd, Suite 150 in Knoxville, Tennessee 37909. CMS issued NPI 1205086790 on 22 September 2008, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 16 June 2025. That is recent, so the contact details are likely current.

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. The same business holds 2 sibling registrations at this address under the names University Radiology (NPI 1043534613) and East Tennessee Diagnostic Center, LLC (NPI 1710932553); they are covered by this page rather than given their own.

Knoxville sits in the Knoxville, TN metropolitan area (Knox County), which has 32 imaging-centre records on the Tennessee side in the September 2026 file, 5 of them with the MRI code, out of 187 across Tennessee. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Tennessee Breast Radiology Specialists, PLLC (0.2 miles, Knoxville), Provision Radiology, PLLC (0.2 miles, Knoxville) and Mosaic Breast Imaging PLLC (0.2 miles, Knoxville).

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Tennessee freestanding-centre estimate is $450 to $1,100 for a typical single-region MRI. At Tennessee hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $123 to $1,911 for a brain MRI, median $710, 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. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (865) 584-7376 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 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).

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.
