What the Record Tells You
American Health Imaging of Irmo, the trading name of American Health Imaging of South Carolina LLC, is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 1245 Lake Murray Blvd Ste B in Irmo, South Carolina 29063. CMS issued NPI 1710565346 on 2 April 2021, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 19 July 2024. That was 2 years ago; the details are probably still current, but confirm the address when you book.
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.
Irmo sits in the Columbia, SC metropolitan area (Lexington County), which has 28 imaging-centre records on the South Carolina side in the October 2026 file, 0 of them with the MRI code, out of 177 across South Carolina. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Palmetto Imaging Irmo (0.4 miles, Irmo), Musc Health Imaging (0.4 miles, Irmo) and Palmetto Imaging West Columbia (6.5 miles, West Columbia), with 2 more within 7.8 miles.
For a cash-pay benchmark, our South Carolina freestanding-centre estimate is $470 to $1,250 for a typical single-region MRI. At South Carolina hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $893 to $3,288 for a brain MRI, median $3,147, from 19 of the 21 South Carolina hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 51 in the state, files dated to July 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (803) 766-3005 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 Medicare Paid This Centre (2024)
From CMS's public Medicare claims data for American Health Imaging of Irmo (NPI 1710565346). Each row is a scan the centre billed to Medicare for at least 11 patients in 2024.
| Scan | Medicare-approved amount | Centre's billed charge | National median approved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Head CT without contrast CPT 70450 · 24 Medicare scans | $95 | $795 | $98 (401 centres) |
| Brain MRI without contrast CPT 70551 · 16 Medicare scans | $184 | $2,225 | $186 (633 centres) |
| Brain MRI without and with contrast CPT 70553 · 36 Medicare scans | $296 | $2,655 | $291 (588 centres) |
| Chest CT without contrast CPT 71250 · 32 Medicare scans | $120 | $1,005 | $124 (492 centres) |
| Cervical spine MRI without contrast CPT 72141 · 86 Medicare scans | $172 | $2,225 | $165 (719 centres) |
| Lumbar spine MRI without contrast CPT 72148 · 254 Medicare scans | $174 | $2,370 | $180 (810 centres) |
| Shoulder or other arm joint MRI without contrast CPT 73221 · 92 Medicare scans | $189 | $2,225 | $190 (668 centres) |
| Knee or other leg joint MRI without contrast CPT 73721 · 121 Medicare scans | $183 | $2,225 | $187 (733 centres) |
| Abdomen and pelvis CT with contrast CPT 74177 · 29 Medicare scans | $273 | $2,290 | $286 (419 centres) |
The Medicare-approved amount is the full amount Medicare accepts for the scan: its own payment plus the patient's share (usually the 20% coinsurance). The billed charge is the centre's own list price on those claims, which Medicare does not pay. Both are averages over the year, and the national column is the median approved amount across every centre that billed Medicare for that scan outside a hospital.
Neither figure is a self-pay quote. If you are paying cash, ask the centre for its self-pay rate for your CPT code and whether the radiologist's report is included.
Source: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners - by Provider and Service, 2024 data, read 15 October 2026. CMS does not publish a centre and scan with fewer than 11 Medicare patients, so a scan missing here may still be offered.

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.
