Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Essential Eyecare Minnesota Inc and registered Pearle Vision as its trading name, so an insurance statement may show a name that does not match the sign on the door. The name matches the Pearle Vision retail brand, which sits at the $50 to $110 end of the exam price range rather than the independent-practice end. The entry was last refreshed in June 2022. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 0 of 8 records were updated in 2024 or later and 6 predate 2020.
For local context: Red Wing holds 5 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 5 of them optometry and 0 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 55066. 4 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Pearle Vision in Red Wing, 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 Minnesota 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The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Pearle Vision, and independent optometry practices do not publish fee schedules.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 Pearle Vision 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 Red Wing page give you the full local field to call around.
