What the Record Tells You

Tri-County Medical Imaging Services, INC is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 590 W Putnam Ave, Suite 2 B in Porterville, California 93257. CMS issued NPI 1982777348 on 15 November 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 2 imaging taxonomy codes: Radiology clinic/center (261QR0200X) and Mobile radiology clinic/center (261QR0208X). It registered as a radiology clinic without the MRI-specific code, so ask which modalities it operates before assuming an MRI is available.

Porterville sits in the Visalia, CA metropolitan area (Tulare County), which has 17 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 Partners Medical Imaging Group, INC (0.4 miles, Porterville), California Medical Imaging Associates, INC (1.3 miles, Porterville) and Imaging Associates of Porterville (1.8 miles, Porterville), with 2 more within 17 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 (559) 782-1973 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.
