What the Record Tells You

Allied Imaging, LLC is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 738 Barchester Dr in San Antonio, Texas 78216. CMS issued NPI 1700304193 on 6 September 2017, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 6 September 2017. That was 9 years ago, so treat the phone number and suite as unverified until you have spoken to someone there.

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.

San Antonio sits in the San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX metropolitan area (Bexar County), which has 83 imaging-centre records on the Texas side in the September 2026 file, 18 of them with the MRI code, out of 1,450 across Texas. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Creekside Open MRI Center LLC (1.0 miles, San Antonio), MRI Centers of Texas LLC - San Antonio Series (1.8 miles, San Antonio) and The Imaging Centre at the Quarry (1.9 miles, San Antonio), with 2 more within 2.0 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Texas freestanding-centre estimate is $500 to $1,400 for a typical single-region MRI. At Texas hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $236 to $10,390 for a brain MRI, median $2,190, from 125 of the 194 Texas hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 285 in the state, files dated to September 2026. Published hospital cash prices in San Antonio-New Braunfels run from $1,379.73 (CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital - Westover Hills) to $9,342.89 (Methodist Hospital Westover Hills) for a brain MRI without contrast, from the hospitals' federal transparency files. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (210) 200-8981 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 Texas: 125 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$500 to $1,400
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$236 to $10,390
Median $2,190 cash against a median gross charge of $4,174, from 125 of the 194 Texas hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 285 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio all competitive; Houston Methodist and MD Anderson at the top. 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 42 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $23,252; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 4 more hospitals list this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $124 to $362, 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).

Parsed hospital cash prices for San Antonio-New Braunfels (brain MRI, CPT 70551): CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital - Westover Hills $1,379.73; Methodist Hospital (San Antonio) $2,743.79; Methodist Hospital Stone Oak $2,743.79 and 7 more. Full table on the San Antonio-New Braunfels metro page.

What to ask when you call

  1. 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.
  2. Scanner field strength (1.5T or 3T) and whether it is closed, wide-bore or open.
  3. ACR or IAC accreditation, and who reads the images. The registry cannot tell you either.
  4. Whether they accept an order from a telehealth referral if you have no local doctor.
