What the Record Tells You

Direct Imaging LLC is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre and radiology clinic at 1355 Getz Rd., Suite B in Fort Wayne, Indiana 46804. CMS issued NPI 1285177980 on 29 November 2016, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 30 November 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: 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 Directcare LLC, so pricing may follow the parent's policies.

Fort Wayne sits in the Fort Wayne, IN metropolitan area (Allen County), which has 19 imaging-centre records on the Indiana side in the October 2026 file, 7 of them with the MRI code, out of 192 across Indiana. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Summit Pain Management (0.2 miles, Fort Wayne), Summit Radiology P C (2.2 miles, Fort Wayne) and The Imaging Center (2.6 miles, Fort Wayne), with 2 more within 2.9 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Indiana freestanding-centre estimate is $480 to $1,300 for a typical single-region MRI. At Indiana hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $137 to $3,765 for a brain MRI, median $693, from 24 of the 31 Indiana hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 82 in the state, files dated to September 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (260) 212-1900 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 Direct Imaging LLC (NPI 1285177980). 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
Cervical spine MRI without contrast CPT 72141 · 20 Medicare scans	$165	$1,250	$165 (719 centres)
Lumbar spine MRI without contrast CPT 72148 · 42 Medicare scans	$173	$1,250	$180 (810 centres)
Shoulder or other arm joint MRI without contrast CPT 73221 · 14 Medicare scans	$191	$1,250	$190 (668 centres)
Knee or other leg joint MRI without contrast CPT 73721 · 33 Medicare scans	$180	$1,250	$187 (733 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

Cash price for a brain MRI in Indiana: 24 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$480 to $1,300

Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$137 to $3,765

Median $693 cash against a median gross charge of $2,032, from 24 of the 31 Indiana hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 82 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Indianapolis dominates; IU Health and Community Health are large systems. 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 1 hospital publishes a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $3,750; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 2 more hospitals list this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $496 to $2,688, 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

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.
