What the Record Tells You

Advanced MRI & CT Institute, the trading name of Manuel Medina, is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre and radiology clinic at Road Pr-2 Marginal D-10, Urb. Villa Real in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico 00694. CMS issued NPI 1073362760 on 15 May 2024, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 15 May 2024. That was 2 years ago; the details are probably still current, but confirm the address when you book.

The record carries 2 imaging taxonomy codes: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) clinic/center (261QM1200X) and Radiology clinic/center (261QR0200X). 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. CMS records it as a subpart of South Western Radiology Services PSC, so pricing may follow the parent's policies.

Vega Baja sits in the San Juan-Bayamón-Caguas, PR metropolitan area (Vega Baja Municipio), which has 244 imaging-centre records on the Puerto Rico side in the September 2026 file, 19 of them with the MRI code, out of 381 across Puerto Rico. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Advanced MRI & CT Institute (2.5 miles, Vega Baja), Educa Group (3.6 miles, Vega Baja) and Vega Baja Radiology Center (4.0 miles, Vega Baja), with 2 more within 4.0 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Puerto Rico freestanding-centre estimate is $350 to $900 for a typical single-region MRI. At hospitals our estimate is $1,200 to $3,500; we have not yet read this state's hospital price files. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (787) 807-0900 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

Estimated cash price for a single-region MRI in Puerto Rico

Freestanding imaging centre

$350 to $900

Hospital outpatient

$1,200 to $3,500

Lower baseline pricing than mainland US. These ranges are our own estimates for the state, not measured prices and not quotes from any listed centre: no source publishes a per-state MRI cash price. Where we have parsed the hospitals' own price files the real spread is much wider, and those measured figures always appear in place of this panel (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.

Full list: cheap MRI, good MRI checklist.
