Reading this record
Beyond the primary code the record carries Ophthalmology, Retina Specialist, which is the registry's own signal that the practice covers more than routine work. The entry was last refreshed in July 2022. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 79 of 590 records were updated in 2024 or later and 356 predate 2020.
For local context: Philadelphia holds 143 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 97 of them optometry and 46 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 19152. 16 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is James R. Filippo, OD in Philadelphia, 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 Pennsylvania 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holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Philadelphia Retina Associates PC, and ophthalmology practices do not publish fee schedules. Customers report paying $150 to $300 or more 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 Philadelphia Retina Associates PC for its self-pay price.
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 421 optometry practices on the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington page if you only need a prescription.
