What the Record Tells You
Essex & Optima Medical Imaging is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 16 Pelham Rd, Suite 3 in Salem, New Hampshire 03079. CMS issued NPI 1124295969 on 12 May 2008, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 12 May 2008. That was 18 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 Essex Orthopaedics & Optima Sports Medicine, so pricing may follow the parent's policies.
Salem sits in the Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH metropolitan area (Rockingham County), which has 18 imaging-centre records on the New Hampshire side in the August 2026 file, 6 of them with the MRI code, out of 45 across New Hampshire. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Salem Radiology LLP (0.1 miles, Salem), Stiles Road Imaging, LLC (0.1 miles, Salem) and Orchard Imaging, LLC (0.4 miles, Salem), with 2 more within 5.5 miles.
For a cash-pay benchmark, our New Hampshire range is $650 to $1,700 at freestanding imaging centres and $2,300 to $6,200 at hospitals for a typical single-region MRI. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (603) 898-2244 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.

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.
