What the Record Tells You

San Diego Diagnostic Radiology Medical Group, INC. is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 1817 Avenida Del Diablo in Escondido, California 92029. CMS issued NPI 1962742874 on 1 March 2013, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 11 April 2017. That was 9 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.

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 North County Radiology Escondido, LLC (1.2 miles, Escondido), North County Radiology Associates INC (1.2 miles, Escondido) and Peak Diagnostic (1.6 miles, Escondido), with 2 more within 1.6 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) 739-2000 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.
