What the Record Tells You

Carolinas Medical Alliance INC is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 148 Sauls St, Suite F in Lake City, South Carolina 29560. CMS issued NPI 1114467586 on 3 March 2017, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 9 May 2017. That was 9 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 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 2 other taxonomy codes (2085R0001X, 2085U0001X).

Lake City sits in the Florence, SC metropolitan area (Florence County), which has 8 imaging-centre records on the South Carolina side in the August 2026 file, 1 of them with the MRI code, out of 149 across South Carolina. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Lake City - Kingstree Radiology, PC (0.5 miles, Lake City), Palmetto Imaging, LLC (21 miles, Florence) and Outpatient Imaging LLC (21 miles, Florence), with 2 more within 22 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) 669-9440 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.
