Medicare eyelid surgery in South Carolina, 2024

Medicare publishes every surgeon's billed operations by procedure code. South Carolina surgeons billed 2,449 eyelid operations to Medicare in 2024; the listed surgeons billed 3,507 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. Source: CMS, Medicare Physician and Other Practitioners by Provider and Service.

How the South Carolina list is built

Every surgeon in South Carolina 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.
