What the Record Tells You
Erca Imaging Centers is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 6501 Preston Rd in Plano, Texas 75024. CMS issued NPI 1619270840 on 9 December 2010, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 9 December 2010. 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. CMS records it as a subpart of Er Centers of America, INC., so pricing may follow the parent's policies.
Plano sits in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX metropolitan area (Collin County), which has 426 imaging-centre records on the Texas side in the August 2026 file, 96 of them with the MRI code, out of 1,325 across Texas.

This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (972) 403-1300 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 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.
