# of Cataract Surgeries Billed to Medicare

1-10

Total number of lens replacement surgeries and YAG laser capsulotomies this clinician billed to Medicare in the most recent 12-month claims period, as reported by CMS.

CMS reports this as a range rather than an exact number because it suppresses counts of 10 and below. It does not mean zero.

Percentile Rank (%)

21% or below

CMS suppresses counts of 10 or fewer to protect patient privacy, so it publishes the range rather than a number and no exact percentile exists. Every clinician in that range sits below those with a count of 11 or more, which places them at or below the 21st percentile. This is not a count of zero, and it is not a measure of the clinician's total practice.

Dr. Lashkari's Cataract Surgery Billing Volume Compared to Peers

CMS reports this clinician's count as a range rather than an exact number, so no single point can be marked. Every clinician CMS reports as 1-10 sits below every clinician with an exact count above that range, which puts them at or below the 21st percentile: the shaded band. The curve begins at the 22nd percentile because CMS suppresses counts below 11, and 2,767 clinicians in the group carry that range instead of a number. It ends at the 99th percentile, and a small number of clinicians bill more than that.

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. We share the total cataract surgery figures for the clinicians CMS lists under Ophthalmology as CMS publishes them, without alteration.

National Percentile Calculation

CMS publishes its own percentile for this data using a single, national pool that also includes the clinicians listed with the specialty of Optometry. We use CMS's percentile formula, but restrict the comparison group to the clinicians CMS records as Ophthalmology, so our number answers a narrower question: how does this clinician's procedure volume compare with other clinicians who billed Medicare for at least one cataract surgery and reported that their specialty was Ophthalmology?
