How to use this result
  • Payment estimate: use total RVU and non-QPP $33.4009 for Medicare payment review.
  • Productivity review: use work RVU separately; total RVU is not a physician productivity target.
  • Before relying on it: confirm office / non-facility, National Average, and payer-specific billing rules.

Calculation formula

Total RVU = work RVU x GPCI work + PE RVU x GPCI PE + MP RVU x GPCI MP. Payment = total RVU x selected 2026 conversion factor. Non-QPP uses $33.4009 and QPP uses $33.5675.

CMS 2026 data source

Uses the CMS April 2026 Physician Fee Schedule RVU files, GPCI localities, and 2026 conversion factors. Estimates should be verified against official CMS files for billing decisions.

For calculator workflows, calculator inputs are processed in the browser. Contact, lead forms and PDF download forms are separate submissions.

Can I search by CPT code or keyword?

Yes. Enter a CPT code such as 99214 or a phrase such as ECG, colonoscopy, office visit, or stress test to filter the CPT RVU data.

Is this also a wRVU calculator?

The calculator displays work RVU for the selected CPT code, but physician compensation should use the written contract's credited wRVU rules, threshold, and dollars-per-wRVU rate.

Does setting affect payment?

Yes. Facility and non-facility settings use different practice expense RVU values, so the same CPT code can produce different total RVU and Medicare payment estimates.

Are API calls required?

No. Calculation runs in the browser using the loaded CPT and GPCI data.
