What the Record Tells You

Watertower Lab Serives LLC is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 845 N Michigan Ave, Suite 930E in Chicago, Illinois 60611. CMS issued NPI 1932359122 on 24 September 2008, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 24 September 2008. That was 17 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.

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 Ahmed Farag MD PC (0.1 miles, Chicago), Cardiac Imaging Centers of America (0.2 miles, Chicago) and Walton Radiology PC (0.2 miles, Chicago), with 2 more within 0.2 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) 654-2154 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.

Full list: cheap MRI, good MRI checklist.
