What is an RVU?

Relative Value Units (RVUs) are the standard for defining the value of medical services. Medicare and hospitals use them to determine physician compensation.

The Equation

Total RVU = wRVU + peRVU + mpRVU.
Reimbursement = Total RVU × Conversion Factor.
Geographic practice cost indices (GPCI) are also applied in official CMS calculations to adjust for cost of living.
