What the Record Tells You
Palm Harbor MRI, the trading name of MRI Associates of Palm Harbor, INC, is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 32615 US Highway 19 N, Suite 4 in Palm Harbor, Florida 34684. CMS issued NPI 1568422996 on 28 March 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 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 one other taxonomy code (261Q00000X).
Palm Harbor sits in the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL metropolitan area (Pinellas County), which has 330 imaging-centre records on the Florida side in the October 2026 file, 47 of them with the MRI code, out of 2,079 across Florida. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Guidewell Emergency Medicine Imaging (1.3 miles, Dunedin), Radiology Associates of Tampa PA (1.6 miles, Palm Harbor) and Tampa Bay Radiology Associates PA (2.0 miles, Palm Harbor), with 2 more within 2.4 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. Published hospital cash prices in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater run from $1,522.15 (Tampa General Hospital) to $1,522.15 (Tampa General Hospital) for a brain MRI without contrast, from the hospitals' federal transparency files. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (727) 787-6900 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 Palm Harbor MRI (NPI 1568422996). 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 · 51 Medicare scans | $99 | $1,340 | $98 (401 centres) |
| Brain MRI without contrast CPT 70551 · 243 Medicare scans | $188 | $2,440 | $186 (633 centres) |
| Brain MRI without and with contrast CPT 70553 · 75 Medicare scans | $302 | $2,990 | $291 (588 centres) |
| Chest X-ray, 2 views CPT 71046 · 124 Medicare scans | $32 | $300 | $31 (743 centres) |
| Chest CT without contrast CPT 71250 · 51 Medicare scans | $127 | $1,340 | $124 (492 centres) |
| Cervical spine MRI without contrast CPT 72141 · 151 Medicare scans | $164 | $2,440 | $165 (719 centres) |
| Lumbar spine MRI without contrast CPT 72148 · 369 Medicare scans | $180 | $2,440 | $180 (810 centres) |
| Shoulder or other arm joint MRI without contrast CPT 73221 · 140 Medicare scans | $190 | $2,440 | $190 (668 centres) |
| Knee or other leg joint MRI without contrast CPT 73721 · 221 Medicare scans | $189 | $2,440 | $187 (733 centres) |
| Abdomen and pelvis CT with contrast CPT 74177 · 13 Medicare scans | $292 | $1,340 | $286 (419 centres) |
| Abdominal ultrasound, complete CPT 76700 · 28 Medicare scans | $107 | $600 | $109 (647 centres) |
| Diagnostic mammogram, both breasts CPT 77066 · 21 Medicare scans | $150 | $600 | $149 (159 centres) |
| Screening mammogram, both breasts CPT 77067 · 201 Medicare scans | $120 | $600 | $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.

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.
