What the Record Tells You
Touchstone Imaging Billings, the trading name of Scltdi Jv, LLC, is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 1739 Spring Creek Dr Ste 400 in Billings, Montana 59102. CMS issued NPI 1659850659 on 9 August 2018, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 5 October 2026. That is recent, so the contact details are likely current.
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. It also holds one other taxonomy code (293D00000X).
Billings sits in the Billings, MT metropolitan area (Yellowstone County), which has 9 imaging-centre records on the Montana side in the October 2026 file, 5 of them with the MRI code, out of 47 across Montana. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Omni Imaging (0.0 miles, Billings), Picture Perfect Ultrasound (3.9 miles, Billings) and Svh Radiation Oncology (5.6 miles, Billings), with 2 more within 5.7 miles.
For a cash-pay benchmark, our Montana freestanding-centre estimate is $550 to $1,400 for a typical single-region MRI. At hospitals our estimate is $1,900 to $5,200; we have not yet read this state's hospital price files. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (406) 545-2110 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 Touchstone Imaging Billings (NPI 1659850659). 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Head CT without contrast CPT 70450 · 135 Medicare scans | $103 | $593 | $98 (401 centres) |
| Brain MRI without contrast CPT 70551 · 37 Medicare scans | $194 | $1,495 | $186 (633 centres) |
| Brain MRI without and with contrast CPT 70553 · 36 Medicare scans | $315 | $2,475 | $291 (588 centres) |
| Chest CT without contrast CPT 71250 · 38 Medicare scans | $128 | $725 | $124 (492 centres) |
| Cervical spine MRI without contrast CPT 72141 · 137 Medicare scans | $174 | $1,487 | $165 (719 centres) |
| Lumbar spine MRI without contrast CPT 72148 · 379 Medicare scans | $192 | $1,585 | $180 (810 centres) |
| Shoulder or other arm joint MRI without contrast CPT 73221 · 71 Medicare scans | $203 | $1,440 | $190 (668 centres) |
| Knee or other leg joint MRI without contrast CPT 73721 · 65 Medicare scans | $199 | $1,470 | $187 (733 centres) |
| Abdomen and pelvis CT with contrast CPT 74177 · 97 Medicare scans | $304 | $1,550 | $286 (419 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
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.
