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.

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.
Full list: cheap MRI, good MRI checklist.
