What the Record Tells You
Hobbs Open MRI, the trading name of Hobbs Open MRI Limited Partnership, is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 3900 N. Lovington Highway, Suite 300 in Hobbs, New Mexico 88240. CMS issued NPI 1255371936 on 8 June 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 13 October 2020. That was 5 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.
Hobbs sits in the Hobbs, NM micropolitan area (Lea County), which has 4 imaging-centre records on the New Mexico side in the October 2026 file, 1 of them with the MRI code, out of 56 across New Mexico. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Hobbs CT, INC. (1.2 miles, Hobbs), Aether Diagnostic Imaging LLC (1.8 miles, Hobbs) and Dean Shippey (19 miles, Lovington).
For a cash-pay benchmark, our New Mexico freestanding-centre estimate is $500 to $1,300 for a typical single-region MRI. At New Mexico hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $569 to $4,156 for a brain MRI, median $2,141, from 8 of the 9 New Mexico hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 26 in the state, files dated to July 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (575) 319-6741 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 Hobbs Open MRI (NPI 1255371936). 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 · 28 Medicare scans | $112 | $1,800 | $180 (810 centres) |
| Shoulder or other arm joint MRI without contrast CPT 73221 · 16 Medicare scans | $125 | $1,800 | $190 (668 centres) |
| Knee or other leg joint MRI without contrast CPT 73721 · 24 Medicare scans | $121 | $1,800 | $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
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.
