Reading this record
The entry was refreshed in April 2025, putting it among the 68 of 326 San Antonio-New Braunfels records updated in 2024 or later, so the contact details are more likely to be current than most of this metro.
For local context: New Braunfels holds 21 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 17 of them optometry and 4 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 78130. 14 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Eye Care New Braunfels in New Braunfels, 0.5 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 ophthalmology practice like this
The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Generations Retina. 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 245 optometry practices on the San Antonio-New Braunfels page if you only need a prescription.
