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.

What is the fastest way to look up RVU values by CPT code?

Use the RVU lookup tool to search a CPT or HCPCS code, review work RVU, practice expense RVU, malpractice RVU, total RVU, and then adjust payment by GPCI locality and 2026 conversion factor.

Can I search by keyword instead of CPT code?

Yes. The lookup workflow supports CPT code and keyword search, so users can search terms such as ECG, colonoscopy, office visit, chest x-ray, or psychotherapy before opening a code-specific CPT page.

Does RVU lookup replace coding review?

No. RVU lookup starts after the CPT or HCPCS code has been selected through documentation, payer policy, modifier, and compliance review.
