What the Record Tells You

Sunflower Imaging is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 13213 W 21ST CT N in Wichita, Kansas 67235. CMS issued NPI 1518721877 on 7 February 2024, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 27 August 2025. That is recent, so the contact details are likely current.

The record carries one imaging taxonomy code: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) clinic/center (261QM1200X). 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.

Wichita sits in the Wichita, KS metropolitan area (Sedgwick County), which has 29 imaging-centre records on the Kansas side in the October 2026 file, 3 of them with the MRI code, out of 88 across Kansas. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Anatomi Imaging (0.9 miles, Wichita), Allied Medical Imaging (2.7 miles, Wichita) and Diagnostic Ultrasound Services, INC (3.5 miles, Wichita), with 2 more within 4.2 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 (316) 358-7110 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 Sunflower Imaging (NPI 1518721877). 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
Brain MRI without and with contrast CPT 70553 · 20 Medicare scans	$297	$930	$291 (588 centres)
Cervical spine MRI without contrast CPT 72141 · 18 Medicare scans	$152	$975	$165 (719 centres)
Lumbar spine MRI without contrast CPT 72148 · 48 Medicare scans	$173	$953	$180 (810 centres)
Shoulder or other arm joint MRI without contrast CPT 73221 · 22 Medicare scans	$189	$980	$190 (668 centres)
Knee or other leg joint MRI without contrast CPT 73721 · 17 Medicare scans	$185	$974	$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 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.
