Reading this record

The practice bills under the legal name State Line Eye Care Center, PC and registered Brookside Eye Care Center as its trading name, so an insurance statement may show a name that does not match the sign on the door. 3 locations nationally are registered under the same name, so pricing and policies are likely to be set at group level rather than at this office. The entry was last refreshed in May 2022. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 15 of 125 records were updated in 2024 or later and 66 predate 2020.

For local context: Kansas City holds 44 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 31 of them optometry and 13 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 64110. 26 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Dr John W Turley LLC in Kansas City, 1.6 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 Missouri 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 ophthalmology practice like this

The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Brookside Eye Care Center. Based on this site's own price research, an ophthalmology practice typically charges $150 to $300 or more for an exam without insurance, against a national average of about $136 and roughly $25 once a vision plan pays its share.

Ophthalmology visits are usually medical rather than routine, which changes who pays: medical insurance and Medicare Part B cover a medically necessary exam, while a routine refraction for glasses is normally not covered. Ask whether the visit will be billed as medical or routine before you book, and compare with the 100 optometry practices on the Kansas City page if you only need a prescription.
