What the Record Tells You

Northstar Imaging LLC is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 8053 E Bloomington Fwy, #450 in Bloomington, Minnesota 55420. CMS issued NPI 1497149926 on 23 March 2015, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 23 March 2015. That was 11 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: 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: US Health Imaging LLC.

Bloomington sits in the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI metropolitan area (Hennepin County), which has 64 imaging-centre records on the Minnesota side in the August 2026 file, 27 of them with the MRI code, out of 81 across Minnesota. The nearest alternatives in the registry are US Health Imaging LLC (0.0 miles, Bloomington), Virtual Radiologic Professionals of California, P.A (1.5 miles, Edina) and Virtual Radiologic Professionals of Texas I, P.A. (1.5 miles, Edina), with 2 more within 1.5 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Minnesota range is $550 to $1,500 at freestanding imaging centres and $2,000 to $5,800 at hospitals for a typical single-region MRI. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (612) 227-9606 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.
