Cataract surgeries billed to traditional Medicare, 2024
Counts only cataract surgeries billed to traditional Medicare (CMS public data, 2024). It excludes commercial insurance, Medicare Advantage and self-pay patients, and CMS withholds any year with fewer than 11 patients for a procedure, so it represents only a fraction of total cases. Verified by KOLective from CMS Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners — by Provider and Service.
