About the procedure
Melanoma excision removes a melanoma and a surrounding margin of skin. The treatment plan depends on the cancer stage.
Public records
CMS counts procedure occurrences for Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage patients. An occurrence represents a clinician, patient, date and procedure category. The count describes experience rather than treatment success.
CMS uses a source-defined one-year observation window. The public count file does not supply exact start and end dates.
A published range of 1–10 remains a range. Missing or suppressed values are not zero.
Each result stays with the clinician, group or hospital identified by its source. OpenHealth does not combine results into an overall doctor score.
