What the Record Tells You

Santa Barbara County Public Health Dept is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 931 Walnut Ave in Carpinteria, California 93013. CMS issued NPI 1609932284 on 28 December 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 11 September 2025. That is recent, so the contact details are likely current.

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. It also holds 6 other taxonomy codes (261Q00000X, 261QF0050X, 261QF0400X, 261QM1300X, 261QP2300X, 261QU0200X). The same business holds a sibling registration at this address under the name Santa Barbara County County Auditor (NPI 1114084894); they are covered by this page rather than given their own. CMS also holds a second NPI for the same organisation at this address (1609932938), folded into this listing.

Carpinteria 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 (9.5 miles, Santa Barbara), Santa Barbara County County Auditor's Office (9.5 miles, Santa Barbara) and Pueblo Santa Barbara Women's Imaging Associates, INC (11 miles, Santa Barbara), with 1 more within 12 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 (805) 560-1050 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.

Freestanding imaging centre

$600 to $1,800

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.
