VisionTestCost.com is an independent price comparison resource. One labelled affiliate link (VSP individual vision plans) can earn us a commission; it never changes a price. Most US optical chains publish no exam price at all, so a figure here is either a published price or a reported range, and the provider pages say which.

Reading this record

The entry was refreshed in April 2024, putting it among the 1 of 8 Hays records updated in 2024 or later, so the contact details are more likely to be current than most of this metro.

For local context: Hays holds 8 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 6 of them optometry and 2 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 67601. 4 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Northwest Kansas Eye Clinic in Hays, 0.6 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 Kansas boards hold the licensing record, and the practice itself is the only source for what it charges today.

Nearest registered practices

11 other registered eye care practices sit within 25 miles of this address, a radius that does not stop at the metro boundary. Inside the Hays metro itself there are 8, 7 of them elsewhere in Hays. The closest 5 are below, measured straight line between registered addresses.

What to expect to pay at an optometry practice like this

The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Michael A Hattan OD, and independent optometry practices do not publish fee schedules.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 Michael A Hattan OD 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 8 practices on the Hays page give you the full local field to call around.
