What the Record Tells You
Wave Imaging, LLC is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 18785 Brookhurst St, Suite 102 in Fountain Valley, California 92708. CMS issued NPI 1538555735 on 14 April 2015, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 27 April 2015. That was 11 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.
Fountain Valley sits in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA metropolitan area (Orange County), which has 579 imaging-centre records on the California side in the August 2026 file, 53 of them with the MRI code, out of 1,312 across California. The nearest alternatives in the registry are United Medical Imaging Healthcare, INC. (1.0 miles, Huntington Beach), Medizen Advanced Imaging INC (1.5 miles, Fountain Valley) and Medizen Magnolia, LLC (1.5 miles, Fountain Valley), with 2 more within 1.8 miles.
For a cash-pay benchmark, our California range is $600 to $1,800 at freestanding imaging centres and $2,200 to $7,500 at hospitals for a typical single-region MRI. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (714) 417-9950 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.
Full list: cheap MRI, good MRI checklist.
