What the Record Tells You

Inova Fairfax Hospital, the trading name of Inova Health Care Services, is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 3300 Gallows Rd in Falls Church, Virginia 22042. CMS issued NPI 1568593440 on 9 March 2007, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 12 February 2026. 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.

Falls Church sits in the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV metropolitan area (Fairfax County), which has 78 imaging-centre records on the Virginia side in the September 2026 file, 8 of them with the MRI code, out of 225 across Virginia. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Metro Region PET (1.9 miles, Annandale), Fairfax Radiological Consultants PC (1.9 miles, Annandale) and Breast Center of Fairfax (2.0 miles, Fairfax), with 2 more within 2.2 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Virginia freestanding-centre estimate is $550 to $1,500 for a typical single-region MRI. At Virginia hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $605 to $5,511 for a brain MRI, median $1,760, 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. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (703) 776-4001 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 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).

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.
