What the Record Tells You
Shields MRI & Imaging Center of Cape Cod, LLC is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 2 Iyanough Rd, Route 28 in W Yarmouth, Massachusetts 02673. CMS issued NPI 1285683474 on 8 May 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 17 April 2026. 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.
W Yarmouth sits in the Barnstable Town, MA metropolitan area (Barnstable County), which has 7 imaging-centre records on the Massachusetts side in the October 2026 file, 1 of them with the MRI code, out of 183 across Massachusetts. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Radiologists of Cape Cod Hospital (0.3 miles, Hyannis), Inmed Diagnostic Services of Ma, LLC (0.4 miles, Hyannis) and Cape Diagnsotic Imaging (1.6 miles, Yarmouth), with 2 more within 11 miles.
For a cash-pay benchmark, our Massachusetts freestanding-centre estimate is $800 to $2,200 for a typical single-region MRI. At Massachusetts hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $449 to $3,858 for a brain MRI, median $1,582, from 14 of the 27 Massachusetts hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 55 in the state, files dated to June 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (508) 778-8555 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 Shields MRI & Imaging Center of Cape Cod, LLC (NPI 1285683474). 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 contrast CPT 70551 · 195 Medicare scans | $205 | $2,207 | $186 (633 centres) |
| Brain MRI without and with contrast CPT 70553 · 310 Medicare scans | $325 | $3,692 | $291 (588 centres) |
| Cervical spine MRI without contrast CPT 72141 · 230 Medicare scans | $190 | $2,183 | $165 (719 centres) |
| Lumbar spine MRI without contrast CPT 72148 · 612 Medicare scans | $199 | $2,185 | $180 (810 centres) |
| Shoulder or other arm joint MRI without contrast CPT 73221 · 323 Medicare scans | $210 | $2,179 | $190 (668 centres) |
| Knee or other leg joint MRI without contrast CPT 73721 · 423 Medicare scans | $208 | $2,186 | $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
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.
