Reading this record
The entry was refreshed in March 2024, putting it among the 92 of 508 Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue records updated in 2024 or later, so the contact details are more likely to be current than most of this metro.
For local context: Puyallup holds 17 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 15 of them optometry and 2 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 98371. No other practice in the city took its NPI earlier than this one, which makes it the longest-registered address here. The closest is Connie C. Lee, OD, PLLC in Puyallup, 0.4 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 Washington 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registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Cascade Eye & Skin Centers P.C., and ophthalmology practices do not publish fee schedules.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 Cascade Eye & Skin Centers P.C. 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 408 optometry practices on the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue page if you only need a prescription.
