What the Record Tells You

Desert Medical Billing and Consulting Services, INC is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 2600 N Central Ave, Suite 1706 in Phoenix, Arizona 85004. CMS issued NPI 1124265582 on 7 January 2009, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 18 March 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: 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.

Phoenix sits in the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ metropolitan area (Maricopa County), which has 250 imaging-centre records on the Arizona side in the August 2026 file, 18 of them with the MRI code, out of 339 across Arizona. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Banner Imaging Services LLC (0.2 miles, Phoenix), Banner Imaging Services Colorado LLC (0.2 miles, Phoenix) and Smi Imaging LLC (0.3 miles, Phoenix), with 2 more within 0.4 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Arizona range is $500 to $1,400 at freestanding imaging centres and $1,800 to $5,200 at hospitals for a typical single-region MRI. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (602) 248-4960 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.
