What the Record Tells You

North County Radiology Associates INC is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 1955 Citracado Pkwy Ste 100 in Escondido, California 92029. CMS issued NPI 1417723024 on 27 November 2023, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 12 March 2024. That was 2 years ago; the details are probably still current, but confirm the address when you book.

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. It also holds one other taxonomy code (2085R0204X). The same business holds a sibling registration at this address under the name North County Radiology Escondido, LLC (NPI 1144096843); they are covered by this page rather than given their own.

Escondido sits in the San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA metropolitan area (San Diego County), which has 109 imaging-centre records on the California side in the August 2026 file, 25 of them with the MRI code, out of 1,312 across California. The nearest alternatives in the registry are San Diego Diagnostic Radiology Medical Group, INC. (0.6 miles, Escondido), San Diego Diagnostic Radiology Medical Group, INC. (1.2 miles, Escondido) and Peak Diagnostic (2.3 miles, Escondido), with 1 more within 2.3 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 (760) 940-4055 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.
