What the rank is, and is not

  • A count of procedures billed to Medicare under this NPI in 2024, published by CMS. Nobody can buy a rank or change one.
  • It measures volume, not quality or outcomes, and only Medicare fee-for-service patients.
  • The badge is free whether or not the profile is claimed.

A wrong name, specialty or city comes from the physician's NPI record; write to support@surgicalvolume.com and it is checked against CMS.
