What the Record Tells You
Central Alabama Diagnostics LLC is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 5018 Cahaba River Rd in Vestavia, Alabama 35243. CMS issued NPI 1255799847 on 10 February 2016, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 9 October 2025. That is recent, so the contact details are likely current.
The record carries 2 imaging taxonomy codes: Diagnostic radiology (physician specialty code carried by an organisation) (2085R0202X) and Radiology clinic/center (261QR0200X). It registered as a radiology clinic without the MRI-specific code, so ask which modalities it operates before assuming an MRI is available.
Vestavia sits in the Birmingham, AL metropolitan area (Jefferson County), which has 47 imaging-centre records on the Alabama side in the August 2026 file, 9 of them with the MRI code, out of 154 across Alabama. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Blue Lake Open MRI, LLC (0.6 miles, Vestavia), Birmingham Physicians Radiology PLLC (0.6 miles, Birmingham) and Bhm MRI Radiology PLLC (0.6 miles, Birmingham), with 2 more within 0.8 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 (205) 453-7525 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
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.
