1. Data Usage & Privacy
OrthoProcedures aggregates publicly available Medicare Part B data (2013–2023 service years) to create surgeon rankings. We respect user privacy and follow the practices described in our privacy policy.
2. Data Accuracy & Limitations
- Medicare releases occur on a delayed schedule; new procedures may not be reflected until CMS publishes the next annual dataset.
- Private insurance and Medicare Advantage procedures are not captured in the dataset.
- Surgeons may change practice locations, affiliations, or specialties between Medicare updates.
We work hard to keep information current but cannot guarantee absolute completeness.
