I have been in discussions with a healthcare entity that determines revenue on RVU's, and i am interested to learn how to value visits, procedures, etc. Is there a source that is accessible to physicians? Also, what is the RVU value of L3000?
DME items such as orthotics do not have RVUs associated with the code. Reimbursement for orthotics and other similar items is based on CMS payment methodology and varies based on a provider’s geographic locality where they serve patients. RVUs can only be calculated for professional services. Examples of codes where it can be calculated are office visits, minor procedures, and surgical services. Supplies, drugs, and DME are excluded from these measures.
