What the Record Tells You
German Chaves is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 2225 Ponce Byp Ste 507, Ponce Bypass in Ponce, Puerto Rico 00717. CMS issued NPI 1477877959 on 26 March 2010, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 26 March 2010. That was 16 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.
Ponce sits in the Ponce, PR metropolitan area (Ponce Municipio), which has 28 imaging-centre records on the Puerto Rico side in the August 2026 file, 4 of them with the MRI code, out of 373 across Puerto Rico. The nearest alternatives in the registry are PET Diagnostic Imaging CORP (0.0 miles, Ponce), Caribbean Neuroradiology Services, INC. (0.0 miles, Ponce) and Ponce Nuclear Medicine, P.S.C. (0.0 miles, Ponce), with 2 more within 0.0 miles.
For a cash-pay benchmark, our Puerto Rico range is $350 to $900 at freestanding imaging centres and $1,200 to $3,500 at hospitals for a typical single-region MRI. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (787) 848-5757 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.

NPPES is an identifier registry, not a licence register: an NPI does not validate licensure, accreditation or that a scanner is on site. Names, addresses and phones are as self-reported to CMS and many records have not been updated for years; confirm before you travel. Coordinates: US Census Bureau geocoder, ZIP-code centroid where the address did not match (flagged). Metro areas: 2023 Census core-based statistical areas by county.
