Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Loudoun Medical Group, PC and registered The Eye Center 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 Loudoun Medical Group, PC, meaning it bills under its own NPI but belongs to a larger organization. 6 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 April 2023. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 139 of 457 records were updated in 2024 or later and 204 predate 2020.
For local context: Fairfax holds 41 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 24 of them optometry and 17 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 22031. 25 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is The Eye Center in Fairfax, 0.0 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 Virginia 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The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from The Eye Center, and ophthalmology practices do not publish fee schedules.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 The Eye Center 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 326 optometry practices on the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria page if you only need a prescription.
