Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Rpvs, LLC and registered Roland Park Vision Services 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 May 2023. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 201 of 497 records were updated in 2024 or later and 208 predate 2020.
For local context: Baltimore holds 137 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 78 of them optometry and 59 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 21210. 90 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Roland Park Vision Service in Baltimore, 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 Maryland 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 Roland Park Vision Services. 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 497 practices on the Baltimore-Columbia-Towson page give you the full local field to call around.
