Medicare eyelid surgery in Kansas, 2024
Medicare publishes every surgeon's billed operations by procedure code. Kansas surgeons billed 1,042 eyelid operations to Medicare in 2024; the listed surgeons billed 1,820 from 2022 to 2024. Medicare covers eyelid surgery only when excess skin or a low lid blocks vision, so these counts are the medical side of the work.

How the Kansas list is built
Every surgeon in Kansas who billed Medicare for eyelid operations from 2022 to 2024, or whose NPI record lists plastic, facial plastic or oculofacial plastic surgery and whose practice site has an eyelid page, is a candidate. A candidate is listed when a web search finds their own practice site or a hospital profile that names them. The score adds Medicare eyelid volume (35 points), eyelid papers (20), specialty training (15), the eyelid page and gallery on the practice site (25) and teaching at eyelid meetings (5). Map markers sit at the centre of the practice's ZIP code. Records can be corrected through the contact page.
