Dallas-Fort Worth evidence build · public beta

See what a surgery number includes before you compare it

SurgeryViz keeps practice listings, historical Medicare records, hospital facility rates, insurer-negotiated rates, and your own documents in separate evidence lanes. They answer different questions and should not be averaged together.

273 provisional ZCTAs in the collection boundaryAverage withheld until comparable local evidence clears review

Average withheld

A useful comparison starts with matching procedure and fee scope.

We will not publish a “Dallas-Fort Worth average” by mixing upper and lower eyelids, cosmetic and functional care, one-eye and two-eye procedures, or prices that include different combinations of surgeon, facility, anesthesia, testing, prescriptions, and follow-up.

Official data assembled

CMS facility quality, covered-care history, and a candidate-provider census

1,031

NPPES candidate NPIs

Candidates only; not verified as eyelid-surgery practices.

801

Medicare provider-service rows

Historical covered care, never a cosmetic cash quote.

129

CMS ambulatory facilities

Facility-wide ASC quality records.

113

patient-experience matches

OAS CAHPS facility survey reporting.

CMS facility quality is not eyelid-procedure-specific and cannot support “best surgeon” or “best facility” rankings. The NPPES boundary is provisional until the HUD-USPS address-ratio crosswalk is ingested.

Collection status

What the Dallas-Fort Worth data build is doing

Provider census

1,031 unique NPPES candidates collected across 273 provisional ZCTAs

Builds candidate NPI join keys; no procedure availability or ranking is inferred.

Practice prices

14 first-party price observations source-reviewed

Exact amounts stay attached to scope language and source excerpts.

Hospital and insurer files

Discovering facility files and targeted covered-service rates

Facility and negotiated rates remain separate from surgeon, anesthesia, and patient responsibility.

Patient episodes

Accepting private quote and bill documents now

Actual documents can reveal omissions and quote-to-final variance that public files cannot.

Audit the boundary

No hidden geography assumptions

The current discovery boundary is a versioned, official Census-derived ZCTA fallback. It is not yet the HUD-USPS address-ratio crosswalk, so SurgeryViz will not publish a market-wide pricing-availability percentage from it.
