Reading this record

The practice bills under the legal name Norway Eye Care P.C. and registered Norway Eye Care 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 0 of 5 records were updated in 2024 or later and 4 predate 2020.

For local context: Norway holds 1 registered eye care practice in this snapshot, 1 of them optometry and 0 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 49870. No other practice in the city took its NPI earlier than this one, which makes it the longest-registered address here. The closest is Dane Baker OD PC in Iron Mountain, 7.0 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 Michigan 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 Norway Eye Care. 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 5 practices on the Iron Mountain page give you the full local field to call around.
