What the Record Tells You

Sand Mountain Imaging, LLC is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 4198 US Highway 431, Suite B in Albertville, Alabama 35950. CMS issued NPI 1639122120 on 18 May 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 4 February 2010. That was 16 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.

Albertville sits in the Albertville, AL micropolitan area (Marshall County), which has 4 imaging-centre records on the Alabama side in the August 2026 file, 3 of them with the MRI code, out of 154 across Alabama. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Marshall Radiology PC (1.7 miles, Boaz), Marshall Imaging Center, LLC (7.4 miles, Albertville) and Open MRI of Marshall LLC (7.8 miles, Guntersville), with 2 more within 19 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Alabama range is $450 to $1,100 at freestanding imaging centres and $1,400 to $4,200 at hospitals for a typical single-region MRI. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (256) 891-1226 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.

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.

Full list: cheap MRI, good MRI checklist.
