What the Record Tells You

Mercy Care Center is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 3753 S Cottage Grove Ave in Chicago, Illinois 60653. CMS issued NPI 1063084366 on 15 July 2021, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 27 December 2022. That was 3 years ago; the details are probably still current, but confirm the address when you book.

The record carries 2 imaging taxonomy codes: Radiology clinic/center (261QR0200X) and Mammography clinic/center (261QR0206X). 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 3 other taxonomy codes (261QU0200X, 261Q00000X, 261QC1500X). CMS also holds 2 further NPIs for the same organisation at this address (1144892423, 1740861582), folded into this listing.

Chicago sits in the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN metropolitan area (Cook County), which has 367 imaging-centre records on the Illinois side in the August 2026 file, 83 of them with the MRI code, out of 459 across Illinois. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Metropolitan Diagnostic Imaging (1.4 miles, Chicago), Dac Imaging S C (1.4 miles, Chicago) and Lifestyle Rejuvenation Medical Group PLLC (2.5 miles, Chicago), with 2 more within 3.6 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Illinois range is $550 to $1,600 at freestanding imaging centres and $2,000 to $6,200 at hospitals for a typical single-region MRI. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (312) 567-2092 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.
