What the Record Tells You

Direct Diagnostic Services, LLC is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 4 Carriage Ln Ste 108 in Charleston, South Carolina 29407. CMS issued NPI 1801040274 on 11 November 2008, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 5 May 2021. That was 5 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. It also holds one other taxonomy code (293D00000X).

Charleston sits in the Charleston-North Charleston, SC metropolitan area (Charleston County), which has 21 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 Injury in Motion, LLC (0.1 miles, Charleston), South Carolina Diagnostic Imaging, INC (1.1 miles, Charleston) and American Health Imaging of South Carolina LLC (1.8 miles, Charleston), with 2 more within 2.8 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 (828) 396-5634 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.
