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.

Is this a contract valuation?

No. It estimates compensation from numeric assumptions. Contract terms, guarantees, repayment clauses, and legal obligations require separate review.

What is the key input?

Annual wRVU production and dollars per wRVU drive the productivity component, while base salary and thresholds control downside and upside.

Should I compare this to specialty benchmarks?

Yes. Compare the annual wRVU assumption with specialty percentile ranges before interpreting the compensation result.

Use note: Compensation estimates are planning assumptions, not contract advice.
