Data File: The Center for Health Care Statistics in Hyattsville, MD, has released benchmark data on surgery visits by seniors, reporting that seniors have 3.5 times as many surgery visits as younger patients. To manage your Medicare surgery utilization, find out what the top diagnoses and procedures are for those visits.
