What the Record Tells You
Sarasota MRI, the trading name of MRI Associates of Sarasota LLC, is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 2 N Tuttle Ave in Sarasota, Florida 34237. CMS issued NPI 1629183595 on 20 August 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 7 May 2025. That is recent, so the contact details are likely current.
The record carries 2 imaging taxonomy codes: Radiology clinic/center (261QR0200X) and Diagnostic radiology (physician specialty code carried by an organisation) (2085R0202X). 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 one other taxonomy code (261Q00000X).
Sarasota sits in the North Port-Bradenton-Sarasota, FL metropolitan area (Sarasota County), which has 78 imaging-centre records on the Florida side in the October 2026 file, 12 of them with the MRI code, out of 2,079 across Florida. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Smh Diagnostics INC (1.0 miles, Sarasota), A1 Imaging of Columbus (1.3 miles, Sarasota) and DBA Midtown Radiology (1.3 miles, Sarasota), with 2 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 (941) 951-1888 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 Sarasota MRI (NPI 1629183595). 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brain MRI without contrast CPT 70551 · 74 Medicare scans | $190 | $2,440 | $186 (633 centres) |
| Brain MRI without and with contrast CPT 70553 · 35 Medicare scans | $297 | $2,990 | $291 (588 centres) |
| Chest CT without contrast CPT 71250 · 16 Medicare scans | $121 | $1,340 | $124 (492 centres) |
| Cervical spine MRI without contrast CPT 72141 · 84 Medicare scans | $165 | $2,440 | $165 (719 centres) |
| Lumbar spine MRI without contrast CPT 72148 · 262 Medicare scans | $181 | $2,440 | $180 (810 centres) |
| Shoulder or other arm joint MRI without contrast CPT 73221 · 84 Medicare scans | $188 | $2,440 | $190 (668 centres) |
| Knee or other leg joint MRI without contrast CPT 73721 · 81 Medicare scans | $187 | $2,440 | $187 (733 centres) |
| Abdominal ultrasound, complete CPT 76700 · 11 Medicare scans | $110 | $600 | $109 (647 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
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.
