Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Alan J Margolis MD PC and registered Margolis Vision 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 March 2023. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 126 of 488 records were updated in 2024 or later and 183 predate 2020.
For local context: Lone Tree holds 13 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 11 of them optometry and 2 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 80124. No other practice in the city took its NPI earlier than this one, which makes it the longest-registered address here. The closest is Christina Munro OD PC in Lone Tree, 0.8 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 ophthalmology practice like this
The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Margolis Vision. 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 382 optometry practices on the Denver-Aurora-Centennial page if you only need a prescription.
