What the Record Tells You

Vista MRI Institute, the trading name of Waukegan Illinois Hospital Company LLC, is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre and radiology clinic at 60 S Greenleaf St in Gurnee, Illinois 60031. CMS issued NPI 1538215611 on 25 January 2007, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 2 August 2007. That was 19 years ago, so treat the phone number and suite as unverified until you have spoken to someone there.

The record carries 2 imaging taxonomy codes: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) clinic/center (261QM1200X) and Radiology clinic/center (261QR0200X). 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. CMS records it as a subpart of Waukegan Illinois Hospital Company LLC, so pricing may follow the parent's policies.

Gurnee sits in the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN metropolitan area (Lake County), which has 416 imaging-centre records on the Illinois side in the September 2026 file, 89 of them with the MRI code, out of 528 across Illinois. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Gurnee Radiology Center, LLC (0.2 miles, Gurnee), Smart Scan MRI, LLC (0.3 miles, Gurnee) and Spring View Imaging Center (0.9 miles, Gurnee), with 2 more within 5.0 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Illinois freestanding-centre estimate is $550 to $1,600 for a typical single-region MRI. At Illinois hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $254 to $4,532 for a brain MRI, median $1,505, from 47 of the 61 Illinois hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 114 in the state, files dated to September 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (847) 360-4225 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.

Cash-Price Benchmark

Cash price for a brain MRI in Illinois: 47 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$550 to $1,600
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$254 to $4,532
Median $1,505 cash against a median gross charge of $3,962, from 47 of the 61 Illinois hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 114 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Chicago academic medical centres (Northwestern, U of C) at the top end. 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 7 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $7,151; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 3 more hospitals list this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $121 to $551, 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

  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.
