What the Record Tells You

Sunset Imaging, LLC is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 25 Union School Rd NW in Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina 28469. CMS issued NPI 1427205079 on 26 August 2008, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 26 August 2008. That was 17 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.

Ocean Isle Beach sits in the Wilmington, NC metropolitan area (Brunswick County), which has 10 imaging-centre records on the North Carolina side in the August 2026 file, 1 of them with the MRI code, out of 205 across North Carolina. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Sunset Imaging, LLC (4.3 miles, Sunset Beach), Strand Regional Specialty (13 miles, Little River) and Cape Fear Imaging, LLC (25 miles, Winnabow), with 2 more within 25 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 (910) 575-7862 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 to ask when you call

  1. 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.
  2. Scanner field strength (1.5T or 3T) and whether it is closed, wide-bore or open.
  3. ACR or IAC accreditation, and who reads the images. The registry cannot tell you either.
  4. Whether they accept an order from a telehealth referral if you have no local doctor.

Full list: cheap MRI, good MRI checklist.
