What the Record Tells You

Central Magnetic Imaging North, the trading name of Presgar Imaging of Cmi North Lc, is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 1860 NE Miami Gardens Dr in Miami, Florida 33179. CMS issued NPI 1447237722 on 28 December 2005, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 22 October 2021. That was 4 years ago; the details are probably still current, but confirm the address when you book.

The record carries one imaging taxonomy code: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) clinic/center (261QM1200X). The MRI-specific code means the organisation registered itself as a magnetic resonance imaging centre, the strongest signal the registry gives that a scanner is on site. The same business holds a sibling registration at this address under the name Cmi North (NPI 1841434602); they are covered by this page rather than given their own.

Miami sits in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL metropolitan area (Miami-Dade County), which has 826 imaging-centre records on the Florida side in the October 2026 file, 178 of them with the MRI code, out of 2,079 across Florida. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Center for Diagnostic Imaging LTD (0.0 miles, North Miami Beach), Pairtu Health Medical Group PA (1.0 miles, Miami) and Cardio Sound Diagnostics (1.2 miles, N Miami Beach), with 1 more within 1.3 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Florida freestanding-centre estimate is $500 to $1,500 for a typical single-region MRI. At Florida hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $243 to $4,532 for a brain MRI, median $1,360, from 39 of the 73 Florida hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 167 in the state, files dated to September 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (305) 947-1416 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 Medicare Paid This Centre (2024)

From CMS's public Medicare claims data for Central Magnetic Imaging North (NPI 1447237722). Each row is a scan the centre billed to Medicare for at least 11 patients in 2024.

Scan	Medicare-approved amount	Centre's billed charge	National median approved
Cervical spine MRI without contrast CPT 72141 · 14 Medicare scans	$192	$1,850	$165 (719 centres)
Lumbar spine MRI without contrast CPT 72148 · 39 Medicare scans	$196	$1,850	$180 (810 centres)
Shoulder or other arm joint MRI without contrast CPT 73221 · 35 Medicare scans	$207	$1,850	$190 (668 centres)
Knee or other leg joint MRI without contrast CPT 73721 · 62 Medicare scans	$203	$1,850	$187 (733 centres)

The Medicare-approved amount is the full amount Medicare accepts for the scan: its own payment plus the patient's share (usually the 20% coinsurance). The billed charge is the centre's own list price on those claims, which Medicare does not pay. Both are averages over the year, and the national column is the median approved amount across every centre that billed Medicare for that scan outside a hospital.

Neither figure is a self-pay quote. If you are paying cash, ask the centre for its self-pay rate for your CPT code and whether the radiologist's report is included.

Source: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners - by Provider and Service, 2024 data, read 15 October 2026. CMS does not publish a centre and scan with fewer than 11 Medicare patients, so a scan missing here may still be offered.

Cash-Price Benchmark

Cash price for a brain MRI in Florida: 39 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$500 to $1,500

Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$243 to $4,532

Median $1,360 cash against a median gross charge of $4,831, from 39 of the 73 Florida hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 167 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Strong independent imaging centre network statewide; Miami metro priced higher. The hospital figures are CPT 70551, brain MRI without contrast, taken from each hospital's own federal transparency file and attributed to the date that file carries. A further 32 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $18,295; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 1 more hospital lists this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $1,283 to $1,283, so which row is the scan cannot be told from the file; they are excluded from the band and counted here. Hospitals whose file we could not read are named, not filled in (methodology).

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.
