Reading this record
CMS records this location as a subpart of Ellington Eyecare PLLC, meaning it bills under its own NPI but belongs to a larger organization. 33 locations nationally are registered under the same name, so pricing and policies are likely to be set at group level rather than at this office. The entry was refreshed in January 2024, putting it among the 32 of 147 Colorado Springs records updated in 2024 or later, so the contact details are more likely to be current than most of this metro.
For local context: Colorado Springs holds 129 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 109 of them optometry and 20 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 80909. 114 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Pikes Peak Eye Care in Colorado Springs, 0.4 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 Colorado 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 optometry practice like this
The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Ellington Eyecare PLLC. Based on this site's own price research, an independent optometry practice typically charges $120 to $200 for an exam without insurance, against a national average of about $136 and roughly $25 once a vision plan pays its share.
Ask two things when you call: whether the quoted fee includes the refraction, and what a contact lens fitting adds if you wear lenses, since that takes a visit to $150 to $370. A comprehensive exam is $100 to $250. If price is the deciding factor, the 147 practices on the Colorado Springs page give you the full local field to call around.
