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.

Average withheld
A useful comparison starts with matching procedure and fee scope.
We will not publish a “Houston 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.

CMS facility quality, covered-care history, and a candidate-provider census
1,117
NPPES candidate NPIs
Candidates only; not verified as eyelid-surgery practices.
486
Medicare provider-service rows
Historical covered care, never a cosmetic cash quote.
80
CMS ambulatory facilities
Facility-wide ASC quality records.
63
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 Houston data build is doing
Provider census
1,117 unique NPPES candidates collected across 242 provisional ZCTAs
Builds candidate NPI join keys; no procedure availability or ranking is inferred.
Practice prices
11 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.
