How Eye Surgery Record presents regulator and CMS data

The release combines California settings with explicit ophthalmology specialties, national CMS ASCQR facilities with numeric cataract measures, and a dated Illinois licensed-ASTC roster with no procedure fields. Each regulator source retains its own fields and stays separate from industry-published national LASIK cost context; no universal rank is created.

Record completeness

Record completeness reports whether selected setting, specialty, accreditation, and inspection fields are populated. It is not a procedure, accreditation, safety, outcome, provider-price, or suitability score.

Merge rules

Each source maps its native columns into canonical fields. Lower priority numbers win when two sources provide different values. Every observation remains attached to the record with its source URL and observation date.

Pricing evidence

Limitations

This release combines California Medical Board outpatient settings with source-reported ophthalmology specialties, national CMS-certified ambulatory surgical centers with a numeric ASC-11 or ASC-14 cataract measure, and the dated Illinois IDPH licensed-ASTC directory. The Illinois roster has no specialty or procedure field. Cataract reporting, ophthalmology labels, and regulator roster inclusion do not establish that LASIK, PRK, SMILE, or another refractive procedure is offered. Separately displayed Refractive Surgery Council figures are industry-published national LASIK averages, not listed-setting prices. Source fields remain separate and are not a safety or quality score. Map points use ZIP-area centroids. Verify decision-critical facts with CMS, the relevant regulator, accreditation agency, setting, and qualified clinicians.
