Procedures

From CMS Care Compare, which counts the procedures a clinician billed to Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage over a recent 12-month period. CMS reports a fixed list of common procedures, so this is not everything the clinician does. Counts of 10 or fewer are given as a range, because CMS withholds small numbers.

Colonoscopy 106 times · 81st percentile
Melanoma (skin cancer) excision 18 times · 73rd percentile
Upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy for acid reflux 81 times · 72nd percentile
Removal or shaving of skin growth 13 times · 67th percentile
Hernia repair (minimally invasive) 1–10 times
Hernia repair - groin (open) 1–10 times
Mastectomy 1–10 times
Removal of nail tissue 1–10 times
Removal of skin lesions 1–10 times
Removal of tissue 1–10 times
Skin biopsy 1–10 times

The percentile compares how often this clinician performed the procedure with other clinicians who performed it, as CMS calculates it. It measures volume, not outcomes or skill.

Medicare patients and services, 2024

From the CMS Medicare Physician & Other Practitioners file for calendar year 2024. It counts Original Medicare patients only, so a practice that mostly sees Medicare Advantage or privately insured patients looks smaller here than it is.

Medicare patients256
Services billed 578 a service is one billed item, such as a visit, a test or a procedure

Dollar amounts are not shown. What Medicare pays a practice is gross billings, before staff, premises and tax and including the cost of any drugs it administers, so it is not what a clinician earns.
