What the Record Tells You

Pinnacle MRI Group, LLC is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 97 Linden Avenue in Elmwood Park, New Jersey 07407. CMS issued NPI 1548546492 on 24 October 2011, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 11 July 2025. That is recent, so the contact details are likely current.

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.

Elmwood Park sits in the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ metropolitan area (Bergen County), which has 432 imaging-centre records on the New Jersey side in the October 2026 file, 62 of them with the MRI code, out of 539 across New Jersey. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Medical Imaging of Elmwood Park INC. (0.0 miles, Elmwood Park), Redi Diagnostics CORP (1.1 miles, Elmwood Park) and Bioscan Diagnostic Imaging, PC (1.3 miles, Saddle Brook), with 2 more within 1.3 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our New Jersey freestanding-centre estimate is $700 to $1,900 for a typical single-region MRI. At New Jersey hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $264 to $3,020 for a brain MRI, median $352, from 40 of the 53 New Jersey hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 61 in the state, files dated to September 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (212) 655-9262 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 Pinnacle MRI Group, LLC (NPI 1548546492). 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 · 20 Medicare scans	$221	$3,000	$180 (810 centres)
Knee or other leg joint MRI without contrast CPT 73721 · 17 Medicare scans	$235	$3,000	$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 New Jersey: 40 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$700 to $1,900

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

Hospital outpatient, measured

$264 to $3,020

Median $352 cash against a median gross charge of $4,073, from 40 of the 53 New Jersey hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 61 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Northern NJ priced like NYC metro; southern NJ closer to Philly. 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 8 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $10,725; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 1 more hospital lists this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $323 to $323, 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.
