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.
