What the Record Tells You

Sunset Radiology INC is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 7000 SW 97TH Ave in Miami, Florida 33173. CMS issued NPI 1518910488 on 19 May 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 17 March 2020. That was 6 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.

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 Virtual Imaging Services, INC (0.2 miles, Miami), Gables CT Services INC (0.2 miles, Miami) and Vital Imaging Diagnostic Centers LLC (0.2 miles, Miami), with 2 more within 0.4 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) 273-6602 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 Sunset Radiology INC (NPI 1518910488). 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
Head CT without contrast CPT 70450 · 12 Medicare scans	$105	$1,858	$98 (401 centres)
Brain MRI without contrast CPT 70551 · 18 Medicare scans	$199	$2,775	$186 (633 centres)
Chest X-ray, 2 views CPT 71046 · 102 Medicare scans	$35	$200	$31 (743 centres)
Chest CT without contrast CPT 71250 · 30 Medicare scans	$138	$1,858	$124 (492 centres)
Lumbar spine MRI without contrast CPT 72148 · 16 Medicare scans	$193	$2,601	$180 (810 centres)
Knee or other leg joint MRI without contrast CPT 73721 · 12 Medicare scans	$201	$2,775	$187 (733 centres)
Abdominal ultrasound, complete CPT 76700 · 22 Medicare scans	$119	$550	$109 (647 centres)
Screening mammogram, both breasts CPT 77067 · 65 Medicare scans	$130	$350	$118 (320 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.
