Reading this record

The practice bills under the legal name Mmy Louisville and registered Bowersox Vision Center as its trading name, so an insurance statement may show a name that does not match the sign on the door. The entry was refreshed in December 2024, putting it among the 24 of 126 Louisville/Jefferson County records updated in 2024 or later, so the contact details are more likely to be current than most of this metro.

For local context: Shelbyville holds 11 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 7 of them optometry and 4 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 40065. 9 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Bowersox Vision Center PSC in Shelbyville, 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 Kentucky boards hold the licensing record, and the practice itself is the only source for what it charges today.

2 other organizations hold an NPI at the same street address. Shared suites and multi-specialty buildings are common, and it is worth knowing which entity you are actually booking with.

What to expect to pay at an optometry practice like this

The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Bowersox Vision Center. 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 126 practices on the Louisville/Jefferson County page give you the full local field to call around.
