What the Record Tells You

Medical Circle, LLC is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 1830 Amherst St in Winchester, Virginia 22601. CMS issued NPI 1972731057 on 26 June 2009, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 26 June 2009. That was 17 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.

Winchester sits in the Winchester, VA-WV metropolitan area (Winchester city), which has 3 imaging-centre records on the Virginia side in the September 2026 file, 1 of them with the MRI code, out of 225 across Virginia. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Winchester Radiologists PC (0.0 miles, Winchester), Winchester Imaging (6.2 miles, Winchester) and Martinsburg Radiology Assoc INC (22 miles, Martinsburg), with 2 more within 28 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 (540) 536-8000 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

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.
