What the Record Tells You

Preferred Imaging of McKinney, LLC is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 1717 W University Dr, Suite 450 in McKinney, Texas 75069. CMS issued NPI 1205180650 on 7 November 2012, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 21 October 2022. That was 3 years ago; the details are probably still current, but confirm the address when you book.

The record carries one imaging taxonomy code: 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. It also holds one other taxonomy code (291U00000X). The same business holds a sibling registration at this address under the name McKinney Open MRI LLC (NPI 1821042805); they are covered by this page rather than given their own.

McKinney 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. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Heritage X-Ray Corporation (0.4 miles, McKinney), Neuline Health Management LLC (1.6 miles, McKinney) and Commongood Imaging (1.7 miles, McKinney), with 1 more within 1.7 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Texas range is $500 to $1,400 at freestanding imaging centres and $1,700 to $5,100 at hospitals for a typical single-region MRI. Published hospital cash prices in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington run from $1,362.00 (Parkland Memorial Hospital) to $6,582.88 (Medical City Dallas) for a brain MRI without contrast, from the hospitals' federal transparency files. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (214) 544-1118 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

  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.
