What the Record Tells You

Plcm Outpatient Imaging Torrance, the trading name of Little Company of Mary Ancillary Services Corporation, is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 5215 Torrance Blvd Ste 110 in Torrance, California 90503. CMS issued NPI 1265466189 on 10 July 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 9 May 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.

Torrance sits in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA metropolitan area (Los Angeles County), which has 660 imaging-centre records on the California side in the October 2026 file, 59 of them with the MRI code, out of 1,517 across California. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Advanced Imaging of South Bay, INC. (0.8 miles, Torrance), Pacific Imaging, LLC (1.1 miles, Redondo Beach) and Del Amo PET Imaging Center LLC (1.2 miles, Torrance), with 2 more within 2.0 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our California freestanding-centre estimate is $600 to $1,800 for a typical single-region MRI. At California hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $153 to $8,216 for a brain MRI, median $2,307, from 122 of the 169 California hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 276 in the state, files dated to September 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (310) 316-2424 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 Plcm Outpatient Imaging Torrance (NPI 1265466189). Each row is a scan the centre billed to Medicare for at least 11 patients in 2024.

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 California: 122 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$600 to $1,800
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$153 to $8,216
Median $2,307 cash against a median gross charge of $5,150, from 122 of the 169 California hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 276 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Bay Area and LA imaging centres are competitive; UCSF and Cedars hospitals at the top end. 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 24 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $20,680; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 12 more hospitals list this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $19 to $1,825, 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

  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.
