What the Record Tells You
Bay City Imaging INC is an NPI registry record for an MRI centre at 1403 Valhalla Dr Ste B in Wharton, Texas 77488. CMS issued NPI 1497211965 on 20 February 2019, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 20 February 2019. That was 7 years ago, so treat the phone number and suite as unverified until you have spoken to someone there.
The record carries 2 imaging taxonomy codes: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) clinic/center (261QM1200X) and Diagnostic radiology (physician specialty code carried by an organisation) (2085R0202X). 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. CMS also holds a second NPI for the same organisation at this address (1689198269), folded into this listing.
Wharton sits in the El Campo, TX micropolitan area (Wharton County), which has 2 imaging-centre records on the Texas side in the August 2026 file, 1 of them with the MRI code, out of 1,325 across Texas. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Collins Fisher Radiology Associates (1.1 miles, Wharton), Oak Tree Imaging, LP (24 miles, Bay City) and Oak Tree Diagnostic, LLC (24 miles, Bay City), with 2 more within 24 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. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (979) 943-7010 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
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.
