What the Record Tells You
Universal MRI and Diagnostics INC is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 14405 Walters Rd #a in Houston, Texas 77014. CMS issued NPI 1073553616 on 8 June 2006, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 9 January 2013. That was 13 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 Universal MRI and Diagnostics INC, so pricing may follow the parent's policies.

This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (281) 397-6700 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.
