Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Central Coast Eye, Inc., A Professional Medical Corporation and registered Central Coast Eye as its trading name, so an insurance statement may show a name that does not match the sign on the door. The entry was last refreshed in July 2022. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 12 of 51 records were updated in 2024 or later and 28 predate 2020.
For local context: San Luis Obispo holds 18 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 5 of them optometry and 13 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 93401. 12 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Central Coast Eye Associates Inc in San Luis Obispo, 0.0 miles away.
None of this is a licensing check. CMS issues an NPI so a provider can be identified in billing transactions, and states plainly that issuance does not ensure or validate that the holder is licensed or credentialed. The California boards hold the licensing record, and the practice itself is the only source for what it charges today.

What to expect to pay at an ophthalmology practice like this
The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Central Coast Eye. Based on this site's own price research, an ophthalmology practice typically charges $150 to $300 or more for an exam without insurance, against a national average of about $136 and roughly $25 once a vision plan pays its share.
Ophthalmology visits are usually medical rather than routine, which changes who pays: medical insurance and Medicare Part B cover a medically necessary exam, while a routine refraction for glasses is normally not covered. Ask whether the visit will be billed as medical or routine before you book, and compare with the 27 optometry practices on the San Luis Obispo-Paso Robles page if you only need a prescription.
