What the Record Tells You
Aurora Imaging CORP is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 165 Worcester St in Wellesley, Massachusetts 02481. CMS issued NPI 1538257266 on 10 October 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 27 February 2014. That was 12 years ago, so treat the phone number and suite as unverified until you have spoken to someone there.
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. The same business holds a sibling registration at this address under the name Boston Breast Diagnostic Center LLC (NPI 1811222920); they are covered by this page rather than given their own. One other imaging record shares this street address: Breast Imaging Physicians PC.
Wellesley sits in the Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH metropolitan area (Norfolk County), which has 103 imaging-centre records on the Massachusetts side in the August 2026 file, 26 of them with the MRI code, out of 152 across Massachusetts. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Breast Imaging Physicians PC (0.0 miles, Wellesley Hills), Shields Health Imaging at Newton LLC (1.0 miles, Newton) and Newton Wellesley Radiology Assoc (1.1 miles, Newton), with 1 more within 1.1 miles.
For a cash-pay benchmark, our Massachusetts range is $800 to $2,200 at freestanding imaging centres and $2,800 to $7,600 at hospitals for a typical single-region MRI. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (800) 476-0577 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
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.

NPPES is an identifier registry, not a licence register: an NPI does not validate licensure, accreditation or that a scanner is on site. Names, addresses and phones are as self-reported to CMS and many records have not been updated for years; confirm before you travel.
