Cost Per RVU Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Cost Per RVU (CPRVU) is:

\[ \text{CPRVU} = \frac{\text{Total Cost of All Components}}{\text{Expected Level of RVUs}} \]

Where:

$ \text{CPRVU} $ is the Cost Per RVU
$ \text{Total Cost of All Components} $ is the total cost in dollars of all components
$ \text{Expected Level of RVUs} $ is the expected level of Relative Value Units

What is Cost Per RVU?

Cost Per RVU is the average cost of a Relative Value Unit (RVU) in healthcare. RVUs are a measure used in Medicare reimbursement calculations to assign values to medical services based on the resources required to perform them.

Example Calculation

Suppose the Total Cost of All Components is $500,000 and the Expected Level of RVUs is 10,000.

To calculate the Cost Per RVU:

\[ \text{CPRVU} = \frac{500,000}{10,000} = \$50 \]

Therefore, the Cost Per RVU is $50.
