Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Memorial 2020 PLLC and registered Pupila Family Eyecare (Memorial Location) as its trading name, so an insurance statement may show a name that does not match the sign on the door. CMS records this location as a subpart of Memorial 2020 PLLC, meaning it bills under its own NPI but belongs to a larger organization. 2 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 2023. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 210 of 1,115 records were updated in 2024 or later and 624 predate 2020.
For local context: Houston holds 489 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 400 of them optometry and 89 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 77024. 417 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Eye Trends-Town & Country in Houston, 0.7 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 Texas 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 Pupila Family Eyecare (Memorial Location). 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 1,115 practices on the Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands page give you the full local field to call around.
