Based on Medicare claims data, Dr. Leibole performed 1,460 comprehensive eye exam, established patient services. These records cover Medicare fee-for-service activity, including eligible younger beneficiaries; they do not measure total practice volume or clinical quality.
Does Dr. Leibole receive payments from pharmaceutical companies?
Yes. Dr. Leibole received a total of $9,699 from 29 companies across 367 payment records. A record can group multiple payments. These transfers are publicly disclosed through CMS Open Payments.

How do Dr. Leibole's costs compare to other ophthalmologists in Newton?

What does Data Coverage mean?
Data Coverage (currently Very High for Dr. Leibole) measures how much public federal data is available about a provider. It is not a quality rating. A "Very High" or "High" level means the provider has data across multiple federal sources (NPPES, PECOS, Medicare Utilization, Open Payments), indicating the presence of registry, enrollment, activity or payment records, not verified experience or clinical quality. A "Low" or "Moderate" level may simply mean the provider is newer, does not see Medicare patients, or has not received any industry payments — none of which are inherently negative.

Source publication dates and the snapshots loaded on this site can differ. Rebuilding a page does not refresh its source records.
