What the Record Tells You

Women's Imaging Specialists - Gulf Shores, LLC is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 2508 S McKenzie St in Foley, Alabama 36535. CMS issued NPI 1548789852 on 18 September 2017, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 19 September 2025. That is recent, so the contact details are likely current.

The record carries 2 imaging taxonomy codes: Radiology clinic/center (261QR0200X) and Mammography clinic/center (261QR0206X). It registered as a radiology clinic without the MRI-specific code, so ask which modalities it operates before assuming an MRI is available.

Foley sits in the Daphne-Fairhope-Foley, AL metropolitan area (Baldwin County), which has 5 imaging-centre records on the Alabama side in the October 2026 file, 0 of them with the MRI code, out of 172 across Alabama. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Foley Diagnostic Imaging, LLC (2.2 miles, Foley), South Baldwin Open MRI, LLC (2.7 miles, Foley) and Foley Imaging Center, INC. (3.8 miles, Foley), with 2 more within 16 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Alabama freestanding-centre estimate is $450 to $1,100 for a typical single-region MRI. At Alabama hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $85 to $2,153 for a brain MRI, median $1,381, from 14 of the 19 Alabama hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 73 in the state, files dated to September 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (251) 255-6262 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 Medicare Paid This Centre (2024)

From CMS's public Medicare claims data for Women's Imaging Specialists - Gulf Shores, LLC (NPI 1548789852). Each row is a scan the centre billed to Medicare for at least 11 patients in 2024.

Scan	Medicare-approved amount	Centre's billed charge	National median approved
Diagnostic mammogram, both breasts CPT 77066 · 17 Medicare scans	$132	$625	$149 (159 centres)
Screening mammogram, both breasts CPT 77067 · 298 Medicare scans	$106	$500	$118 (320 centres)

The Medicare-approved amount is the full amount Medicare accepts for the scan: its own payment plus the patient's share (usually the 20% coinsurance). The billed charge is the centre's own list price on those claims, which Medicare does not pay. Both are averages over the year, and the national column is the median approved amount across every centre that billed Medicare for that scan outside a hospital.

Neither figure is a self-pay quote. If you are paying cash, ask the centre for its self-pay rate for your CPT code and whether the radiologist's report is included.

Source: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners - by Provider and Service, 2024 data, read 15 October 2026. CMS does not publish a centre and scan with fewer than 11 Medicare patients, so a scan missing here may still be offered.

Cash-Price Benchmark

Cash price for a brain MRI in Alabama: 14 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$450 to $1,100

Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$85 to $2,153

Median $1,381 cash against a median gross charge of $3,470, from 14 of the 19 Alabama hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 73 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Birmingham and Huntsville have the most independent imaging centres. 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 2 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $12,398; 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 $280 to $280, 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.
