What the Record Tells You
Carolina Radiological Associates, LLC is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre and radiology clinic at 302 University Prkwy. in Aiken, South Carolina 29802. CMS issued NPI 1356443683 on 5 September 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 31 August 2021. That was 4 years ago; the details are probably still current, but confirm the address when you book.
The record carries 4 imaging taxonomy codes: Diagnostic radiology (physician specialty code carried by an organisation) (2085R0202X) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) clinic/center (261QM1200X) and Radiology clinic/center (261QR0200X) and Mammography clinic/center (261QR0206X). 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. It also holds 7 other taxonomy codes (2085B0100X, 2085D0003X, 2085N0700X, 2085N0904X, 2085P0229X, 2085R0204X, 2085U0001X).
Aiken sits in the Augusta-Richmond County, GA-SC metropolitan area (Aiken County), which has 4 imaging-centre records on the South Carolina side in the August 2026 file, 2 of them with the MRI code, out of 149 across South Carolina. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Universal Radiology Partners of South Carolina (0.0 miles, Aiken), Southside Imaging Center LLC (6.5 miles, Aiken) and Doctors Hospital North Augusta Imaging Center LLC (11 miles, North Augusta), with 2 more within 15 miles.
For a cash-pay benchmark, our South Carolina range is $470 to $1,250 at freestanding imaging centres and $1,600 to $4,700 at hospitals for a typical single-region MRI. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (706) 737-4575 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.
