Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Mid Atlantic States, Inc and registered Kaiser Permanente Capitol Hill Vision Center as its trading name, so an insurance statement may show a name that does not match the sign on the door. Beyond the primary code the record carries Ophthalmology, which is the registry's own signal that the practice covers more than routine work. CMS records this location as a subpart of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Mid Atlantic States, Inc, meaning it bills under its own NPI but belongs to a larger organization. 3 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 July 2025, putting it among the 16 of 82 Washington-Arlington-Alexandria records updated in 2024 or later, so the contact details are more likely to be current than most of this metro.
For local context: Washington holds 82 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 53 of them optometry and 29 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 20002. 73 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Prevention of Blindness Society of Metropolitan Washington Inc in Washington, 0.2 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 District of Columbia 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so nothing here is a quote from Kaiser Permanente Capitol Hill Vision Center, and independent optometry practices do not publish fee schedules. Customers report paying $120 to $200 at this kind of practice without insurance, which is a reported band rather than a published price. The nearest published figure is $95, the median starting fee across the 1,280 US retail optical stores that print one (30 September 2026), and Medicare pays $149.64 for a comprehensive new-patient exam (CPT 92004). Ask Kaiser Permanente Capitol Hill Vision Center for its self-pay price.
Ask two things when you call: whether the quoted fee includes the refraction, and what a contact lens fitting adds if you wear lenses (the median published contact-lens fee is $129). A comprehensive exam is $80 to $120 at the middle half of stores that print a price. If price is the deciding factor, the 82 practices on the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria page give you the full local field to call around.
