What the Record Tells You
Radiology Associates of San Luis Obispo is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 523 Barcellus in Santa Maria, California 93454. CMS issued NPI 1275507212 on 15 February 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 5 December 2007. That was 18 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. CMS records it as a subpart of Radiology Associates of San Luis Obispo, so pricing may follow the parent's policies.
Santa Maria sits in the Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA metropolitan area (Santa Barbara County), which has 23 imaging-centre records on the California side in the August 2026 file, 1 of them with the MRI code, out of 1,312 across California. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Santa Barbara County Public Health Dept (8.9 miles, Santa Maria), Santa Barbara County County Auditor (8.9 miles, Santa Maria) and Diagnostic Imaging Medical Group (9.0 miles, Santa Maria), with 2 more within 9.7 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 the centre 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.

NPPES is an identifier registry, not a licence register: an NPI does not validate licensure, accreditation or that a scanner is on site. Names, addresses and phones are as self-reported to CMS and many records have not been updated for years; confirm before you travel.
