What the Record Tells You
Thomas R. Blackburn, MD, PA is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 201 E Parker Rd in Morganton, North Carolina 28655. CMS issued NPI 1548305097 on 21 February 2007, 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: 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.
Morganton sits in the Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton, NC metropolitan area (Burke County), which has 7 imaging-centre records on the North Carolina side in the August 2026 file, 0 of them with the MRI code, out of 205 across North Carolina. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Mission Imaging Services, LLC (0.3 miles, Morganton), Mh Mission Imaging, Lllp (0.3 miles, Morganton) and Sonocare, LLC (3.1 miles, Morganton), with 2 more within 3.1 miles.
For a cash-pay benchmark, our North Carolina range is $480 to $1,300 at freestanding imaging centres and $1,700 to $4,900 at hospitals for a typical single-region MRI. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (828) 433-1206 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.
