What the Record Tells You
Advanced Open MRI of Tucson PA is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 3970 North Campbell Ave in Tucson, Arizona 85719. CMS issued NPI 1073589875 on 23 February 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 23 March 2018. That was 8 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.
Tucson sits in the Tucson, AZ metropolitan area (Pima County), which has 40 imaging-centre records on the Arizona side in the October 2026 file, 8 of them with the MRI code, out of 361 across Arizona. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Southwest PET Institute (0.6 miles, Tucson), Arizona State Radiology, PC (0.7 miles, Tucson) and Simonmed Imaging (1.3 miles, Tucson), with 2 more within 1.9 miles.
For a cash-pay benchmark, our Arizona freestanding-centre estimate is $500 to $1,400 for a typical single-region MRI. At Arizona hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $347 to $5,618 for a brain MRI, median $516, from 27 of the 45 Arizona hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 66 in the state, files dated to August 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (520) 326-3455 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 Advanced Open MRI of Tucson PA (NPI 1073589875). 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lumbar spine MRI without contrast CPT 72148 · 14 Medicare scans | $175 | $1,500 | $180 (810 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
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.
