What the Record Tells You
Southern MRI is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 49 Pennington Dr Ste B in Bluffton, South Carolina 29910. CMS issued NPI 1861671711 on 29 October 2007, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 29 October 2007. That was 18 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. CMS records it as a subpart of Southern MRI LLC, so pricing may follow the parent's policies.
Bluffton sits in the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton-Port Royal, SC metropolitan area (Beaufort County), which has 18 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 MRI at Belfair LLC (0.2 miles, Bluffton), Radiology Professional Services, LLC (0.2 miles, Bluffton) and Outpatient Imaging Services LLC (0.2 miles, Bluffton), with 2 more within 3.7 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) 815-4600 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.
