Virginia, NPI registry September 2026

Imaging Centers in Virginia: 225 MRI and Radiology Centre Records

The September 2026 NPI file lists 225 imaging organisations in Virginia: 87 registered under the MRI or radiology clinic codes (17, or 8%, with the MRI-specific code) and 138 diagnostic-radiology organisations classified by name. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria is the largest market with 78 records, followed by Richmond (37), Virginia Beach-Chesapeake-Norfolk (36) and Lynchburg (11). 29 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 Virginia runs $550 to $1,500 cash at a freestanding centre, which is our own estimate. At hospitals it is measured, not estimated: a brain MRI runs $605 to $5,511 cash, median $1,760 against a median gross charge of $3,450, from 45 of the 52 Virginia hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 72 in the state, files dated to July 2026. A further 3 hospitals publish their chargemaster unchanged as a “cash price”, up to $11,774, and are not in that range. Northern VA priced like DC metro; Richmond and Norfolk more competitive.

Cash-Price Context for Virginia

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 Virginia: 45 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$550 to $1,500
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$605 to $5,511
Median $1,760 cash against a median gross charge of $3,450, from 45 of the 52 Virginia hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 72 in the state, files dated to July 2026.

Northern VA priced like DC metro; Richmond and Norfolk more competitive. 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 3 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $11,774; 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 $2,674 to $2,674, 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 Virginia

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