What the Record Tells You

Washington Open MRI INC is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 5530 Wisconsin Ave Ste 529 in Chevy Chase, Maryland 20815. CMS issued NPI 1104302389 on 11 July 2018, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 3 July 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. It also holds one other taxonomy code (261Q00000X). CMS records it as a subpart of Washington Open MRI INC., so pricing may follow the parent's policies. One other imaging record shares this street address: Physician Imaging of Washington Hospital Center, LLC.

Chevy Chase sits in the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV metropolitan area (Montgomery County), which has 124 imaging-centre records on the Maryland side in the August 2026 file, 13 of them with the MRI code, out of 302 across Maryland.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Maryland range is $700 to $1,900 at freestanding imaging centres and $2,500 to $6,800 at hospitals for a typical single-region MRI. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (301) 656-6399 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

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.
