What the Record Tells You
Palmetto Primary Care Physicians, LLC is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 2550 Elms Center Rd in N Charleston, South Carolina 29406. CMS issued NPI 1629017694 on 5 June 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 1 June 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 2 imaging taxonomy codes: Diagnostic radiology (physician specialty code carried by an organisation) (2085R0202X) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) clinic/center (261QM1200X). 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 5 other taxonomy codes (207Q00000X, 2085U0001X, 261QP2000X, 261QU0200X, 291U00000X).
N 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 South Carolina Diagnostic Imaging, LLC (0.6 miles, N Charleston), Larkspire LLC (4.6 miles, North Charleston) and Ossp Imaging of North Charleston (5.1 miles, North Charleston), with 2 more within 8.9 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 (843) 572-7727 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.
