What the Record Tells You

Sama Independent Diagnostic Testing Facility is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 600 S Timberlane Dr in El Dorado, Arkansas 71730. CMS issued NPI 1053307108 on 23 September 2005, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 12 January 2026. That is recent, so the contact details are likely current.

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. The same business holds a sibling registration at this address under the name South Arkansas Medical Associates Idtf (NPI 1508802034); they are covered by this page rather than given their own.

El Dorado sits in the El Dorado, AR micropolitan area (Union County), which has 4 imaging-centre records on the Arkansas side in the August 2026 file, 0 of them with the MRI code, out of 89 across Arkansas. The nearest alternatives in the registry are South Arkansas Open MRI LLC (0.5 miles, El Dorado), Southark Imaging LLC (3.1 miles, El Dorado) and Northeast Louisiana Radiology Associates (46 miles, Ruston), with 1 more within 47 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Arkansas range is $450 to $1,050 at freestanding imaging centres and $1,400 to $4,000 at hospitals for a typical single-region MRI. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (870) 862-2400 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.
