What the Record Tells You
The Intercommunity MRI Center an Affiliate of Pih, the trading name of Pih Health Whittier Hospital, is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 12455 Washington Blvd in Whittier, California 90602. CMS issued NPI 1881837060 on 17 April 2009, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 23 June 2021. That was 5 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: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) clinic/center (261QM1200X). The MRI-specific code means the organisation registered itself as a magnetic resonance imaging centre, the strongest signal the registry gives that a scanner is on site. CMS records it as a subpart of Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital, INC., so pricing may follow the parent's policies. One other imaging record shares this street address: Insight Imaging - Washington.
Whittier sits in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA metropolitan area (Los Angeles County), which has 658 imaging-centre records on the California side in the September 2026 file, 57 of them with the MRI code, out of 1,513 across California. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Insight Imaging - Washington (0.0 miles, Whittier), Lambert Radiology Medical Group, INC (0.0 miles, Whittier) and Whittier Imaging Center (0.8 miles, Whittier), with 2 more within 1.6 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 (562) 698-0811 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.

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.
