What the Record Tells You

Volunteer Parkway Imaging Center, the trading name of Wellmont Health System, is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 1230 Volunteer Pkwy in Bristol, Tennessee 37620. CMS issued NPI 1699056721 on 2 September 2011, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 2 September 2011. That was 15 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. One other imaging record shares this street address: Bristol Imaging Center, LLC..

Bristol sits in the Kingsport-Bristol, TN-VA metropolitan area (Sullivan County), which has 8 imaging-centre records on the Tennessee side in the September 2026 file, 0 of them with the MRI code, out of 187 across Tennessee. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Bristol Imaging Center, LLC. (0.0 miles, Bristol), Blue Ridge Radiology, P.C. (2.2 miles, Bristol) and Imaging International (16 miles, Abingdon), with 2 more within 17 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Tennessee freestanding-centre estimate is $450 to $1,100 for a typical single-region MRI. At Tennessee hospitals the cash price is measured rather than estimated: $123 to $1,911 for a brain MRI, median $710, from 34 of the 39 Tennessee hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 78 in the state, files dated to August 2026. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (423) 764-2566 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

Cash price for a brain MRI in Tennessee: 34 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$450 to $1,100

Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$123 to $1,911

Median $710 cash against a median gross charge of $3,823, from 34 of the 39 Tennessee hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 78 in the state, files dated to August 2026.

Among the lowest-cost states in the US for MRI. The hospital figures are CPT 70551, brain MRI without contrast, taken from each hospital's own federal transparency file and attributed to the date that file carries. A further 2 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $10,890; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 1 more hospital lists this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $86 to $86, so which row is the scan cannot be told from the file; they are excluded from the band and counted here. Hospitals whose file we could not read are named, not filled in (methodology).

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.
