What the Record Tells You

Merrimack Valley PET PC is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 70 East St in Methuen, Massachusetts 01844. CMS issued NPI 1407802416 on 25 May 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 16 January 2025. That is recent, so the contact details are likely current.

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. One other imaging record shares this street address: Northern Radiology Associates.

Methuen sits in the Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH metropolitan area (Essex 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 Northern Radiology Associates (0.0 miles, Methuen), L & M Radiology, INC. (1.4 miles, Lawrence) and Lgh Health Enterprises INC. (3.9 miles, Andover), with 2 more within 5.1 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 (978) 689-4738 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

  1. 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.
  2. Scanner field strength (1.5T or 3T) and whether it is closed, wide-bore or open.
  3. ACR or IAC accreditation, and who reads the images. The registry cannot tell you either.
  4. Whether they accept an order from a telehealth referral if you have no local doctor.

Full list: cheap MRI, good MRI checklist.
