What the Record Tells You

Lifetech Diagnostics, the trading name of Lifetech Sciences LLC, is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 3711A SW Wanamaker Rd in Topeka, Kansas 66610. CMS issued NPI 1497354575 on 20 October 2020, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 15 April 2024. That was 2 years ago; the details are probably still current, but confirm the address when you book.

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 3 other taxonomy codes (261QH0100X, 261QM1300X, 291U00000X). CMS records it as a subpart of Lifetech Sciences LLC, so pricing may follow the parent's policies.

Topeka sits in the Topeka, KS metropolitan area (Shawnee County), which has 5 imaging-centre records on the Kansas side in the September 2026 file, 1 of them with the MRI code, out of 88 across Kansas. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Topeka Imaging, LLC (1.2 miles, Topeka), St. Francis Imaging Center & Medical Clinic (4.0 miles, Topeka) and Radiology and Nuclear Medicine LLC (5.0 miles, Topeka), with 2 more within 24 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Kansas freestanding-centre estimate is $480 to $1,200 for a typical single-region MRI. At Kansas hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $224 to $2,989 for a brain MRI, median $584, from 15 of the 28 Kansas hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 44 in the state, files dated to August 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (785) 224-4775 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 Kansas: 15 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$480 to $1,200

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

Hospital outpatient, measured

$224 to $2,989

Median $584 cash against a median gross charge of $3,273, from 15 of the 28 Kansas hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 44 in the state, files dated to August 2026.

Kansas City and Wichita are the price-competitive metros. 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 5 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $17,146; 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 $206 to $2,727, 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.
