Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Ying Eye Care PC and registered Vestal Eye Care Associates 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 January 2022. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 1 of 17 records were updated in 2024 or later and 9 predate 2020.
For local context: Vestal holds 6 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 5 of them optometry and 1 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 13850. No other practice in the city took its NPI earlier than this one, which makes it the longest-registered address here. The closest is Curtis Ophthalmology PLLC in Vestal, 0.3 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 New York 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 Vestal Eye Care Associates. 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 17 practices on the Binghamton page give you the full local field to call around.
