What the Record Tells You

Brain Matters Imaging Centers is an NPI registry record for a radiology clinic/centre at 1015 8TH Ave North in Seattle, Washington 98109. CMS issued NPI 1285850461 on 17 April 2007, and the organisation last updated its own entry on 22 August 2020. That was 5 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.

Seattle sits in the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA metropolitan area (King County), which has 94 imaging-centre records on the Washington side in the August 2026 file, 25 of them with the MRI code, out of 172 across Washington. The nearest alternatives in the registry are Swedish First Hill Diagnostic Imaging, LLC (1.5 miles, Seattle), Proliance Surgeons, INC., P.S. (1.5 miles, Seattle) and PET-CT Imaging at Swedish Cancer Institute LLC (1.5 miles, Seattle), with 2 more within 1.5 miles.

For a cash-pay benchmark, our Washington range is $700 to $1,900 at freestanding imaging centres and $2,500 to $6,800 at hospitals for a typical single-region MRI. This centre's own prices are not in the registry: call (206) 287-3900 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.

Full list: cheap MRI, good MRI checklist.
