Doctors and Clinicians:
Additional Procedures Data Now Available on Medicare.gov Compare ToolAs part of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) ongoing effort to inform patients and caregivers about clinicians’ experiences, CMS has added new procedures to the utilization data on the Medicare.gov compare tool’s profile pages for doctors and clinicians.
In January 2024, CMS added the first procedure volume data file with information for 12 procedures publicly reported on Medicare.gov compare tool profile pages for doctors and clinicians:

1. Hip replacement
2. Knee replacement
3. Spinal fusion
4. Cataract surgery
5. Colonoscopy
6. Hernia repair – groin (open)
7. Hernia repair (minimally invasive)
8. Mastectomy
9. Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)
10. Pacemaker insertion or repair
11. Coronary angioplasty and stenting
12. Prostate resection

The July 2024 release expands the list of procedures to include:

1. Upper endoscopy
2. Arthroscopy – upper extremity
3. Arthroscopy – lower extremity
4. Varicose vein ablation
5. Laminectomy/laminotomy (lumbar)
6. Lower limb revascularization

The procedures added to profile pages were performed by doctors and clinicians for Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage patients in the previous 12 months, after allowing a three-month claim processing period (for example, claims for dates of service occurring between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023, that were processed by April 1, 2024). CMS will continue to add more procedures to Medicare.gov compare tool profile pages periodically, as feasible.
The “Utilization (Procedure Volume) Data Published on the Compare Tool on Medicare.gov July 2024” fact sheet (PDF, 386.64 KB) on the Care Compare: Doctors and Clinicians Initiative page provides the full list of procedures and background information about CMS’ reporting of procedure volume data. The current procedure volume data file is available as part of the doctors and clinicians datasets.
