What the Record Tells You
Preferred Imaging of Austin LLC is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 711 W 38TH St, Suite B-1 in Austin, Texas 78705. CMS issued NPI 1437542818 on 10 March 2015, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 6 April 2022. That was 4 years ago; the details are probably still current, but confirm the address when you book.
The record carries 2 imaging taxonomy codes: Diagnostic radiology (physician specialty code carried by an organisation) (2085R0202X) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) clinic/center (261QM1200X). The MRI-specific code means the organisation registered itself as a magnetic resonance imaging centre, the strongest signal the registry gives that a scanner is on site. 3 other imaging records share this street address: Austin Open MRI LP, Austin Computer Diagnostics, LTD. and River City Radiology, LLC.
Austin sits in the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX metropolitan area (Travis County), which has 78 imaging-centre records on the Texas side in the August 2026 file, 7 of them with the MRI code, out of 1,325 across Texas. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Austin Open MRI LP (0.0 miles, Austin), Austin Computer Diagnostics, LTD.

This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (512) 420-0000 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.

- 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.
