Understanding CMS Data
These figures are based on cataract surgeries billed to Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage as reported by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in their June 2026 data release. The CMS data doesn't include procedures performed for patients who have other health care coverage (e.g., commercially insured, self pay, or VA). Furthermore, CMS sums up specific billing codes that cover lens replacement surgery and YAG laser capsulotomy to calculate the total number of cataract surgeries. Billing variation and coding errors could potentially affect CMS's data. Therefore, the cataract surgery volume data reported by CMS may be higher or lower than the actual total cataract surgeries performed by a clinician.
