What the Record Tells You

Spero Medical Imaging LLC is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 17020 E US Highway 40, Suite 4 in Independence, Missouri 64055. CMS issued NPI 1548685753 on 25 February 2014, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 25 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.

Independence sits in the Kansas City, MO-KS metropolitan area (Jackson County), which has 21 imaging-centre records on the Missouri side in the August 2026 file, 2 of them with the MRI code, out of 184 across Missouri. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Midwest Open MRI INC (0.0 miles, Independence), Medical Imaging INC (1.3 miles, Independence) and Medical Diagnostic Center Associates LP (1.5 miles, Independence), with 2 more within 8.4 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Missouri range is $480 to $1,300 at freestanding imaging centres and $1,700 to $4,900 at hospitals for a typical single-region MRI. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (816) 478-4422 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.
