Territories appear when the source lists at least one provider there. An empty cell means the source has no value to calculate it from, not zero.

How we calculated this

We count the ambulatory surgical centers in the CMS Provider of Services file (iQIES) by state and add up the operating rooms and procedure rooms each reports. Ownership is the file's ownership type; the share is for-profit centers divided by centers with a known type.

Data sources and dates

Limits of the data

Only Medicare-certified centers are counted; some surgery centers are not certified. Medicare does not publish a star rating for these centers.

Every figure is a count, sum or average of values in the official files above; none is estimated. Read the about page for how this site works and data freshness for when each source was last refreshed.
