What the Record Tells You

Vanderbilt Imaging Belle Meade, the trading name of Vanderbilt Imaging Services, LLC, is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 4525 Harding Rd, Suite 102 in Nashville, Tennessee 37205. CMS issued NPI 1457644429 on 24 May 2011, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 15 March 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. CMS records it as a subpart of Vanderbilt Imaging Services, LLC, so pricing may follow the parent's policies. The same business holds a sibling registration at this address under the name 3T Neuroimaging (NPI 1750387635); they are covered by this page rather than given their own.

Nashville sits in the Nashville-Davidson--Murfreesboro--Franklin, TN metropolitan area (Davidson County), which has 60 imaging-centre records on the Tennessee side in the October 2026 file, 5 of them with the MRI code, out of 187 across Tennessee. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Belle Meade Imaging (0.0 miles, Nashville), Imaging Alliance Nashville PET LLC (1.8 miles, Nashville) and Austin Radiological Association (2.3 miles, Nashville), with 1 more within 3.0 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 (615) 463-3034 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 Vanderbilt Imaging Belle Meade (NPI 1457644429). Each row is a scan the centre billed to Medicare for at least 11 patients in 2024.

ScanMedicare-approved amountCentre's billed chargeNational median approved
Brain MRI without contrast
CPT 70551 · 20 Medicare scans
$179$1,600$186 (633 centres)
Brain MRI without and with contrast
CPT 70553 · 41 Medicare scans
$259$2,226$291 (588 centres)
Cervical spine MRI without contrast
CPT 72141 · 14 Medicare scans
$146$1,445$165 (719 centres)
Lumbar spine MRI without contrast
CPT 72148 · 19 Medicare scans
$159$1,445$180 (810 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

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

  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.
