What the Record Tells You

Des Peres Square Imaging Center LLC is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 1050 Old Des Peres Rd, Suite 75 in Saint Louis, Missouri 63131. CMS issued NPI 1134120454 on 9 August 2005, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 9 March 2011. That was 15 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. CMS records it as a subpart of Orthopedic Associates LLC, so pricing may follow the parent's policies. One other imaging record shares this street address: Professional Imaging LLC.

Saint Louis sits in the St. Louis, MO-IL metropolitan area (St. Louis County), which has 84 imaging-centre records on the Missouri side in the October 2026 file, 14 of them with the MRI code, out of 211 across Missouri. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Professional Imaging LLC (0.0 miles, Saint Louis), Precision Imaging, LLC (0.0 miles, Saint Louis) and St Lukes Center for Diagnostic Imaging LLC (1.1 miles, St Louis), with 2 more within 2.9 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Missouri freestanding-centre estimate is $480 to $1,300 for a typical single-region MRI. At Missouri hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $237 to $2,884 for a brain MRI, median $1,168, from 28 of the 37 Missouri hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 62 in the state, files dated to July 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (314) 569-2412 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 Des Peres Square Imaging Center LLC (NPI 1134120454). 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
Lumbar spine MRI without contrast CPT 72148 · 27 Medicare scans	$113	$1,976	$180 (810 centres)
Shoulder or other arm joint MRI without contrast CPT 73221 · 37 Medicare scans	$136	$1,940	$190 (668 centres)
Knee or other leg joint MRI without contrast CPT 73721 · 61 Medicare scans	$132	$1,891	$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

Cash price for a brain MRI in Missouri: 28 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$480 to $1,300

Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$237 to $2,884

Median $1,168 cash against a median gross charge of $2,420, from 28 of the 37 Missouri hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 62 in the state, files dated to July 2026.

St Louis and Kansas City have competitive independent networks. The hospital figures are CPT 70551, brain MRI without contrast, taken from each hospital's own federal transparency file and attributed to the date that file carries. A further 4 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $10,840; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 5 more hospitals list this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $278 to $2,709, so which row is the scan cannot be told from the file; they are excluded from the band and counted here. Hospitals whose file we could not read are named, not filled in (methodology).

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.
