Dollar per wRVU
Started by J ROD
Yeah. I felt mine at 56/wRVU was a little low. If I take a sample from friends nothing formal it's about 60-65/wRVU in non academic.

I would be curious to know wrvu rates in SE region that people are getting outpatient
Have the 2021 RVU changes impacted this at all?
Have the 2021 RVU changes impacted anything?
I'm jaded and assuming nothing changed, but merely meant more money for Big Box shops but hoping for y'all to here the contrary.

For me they slashed the conversion factor by 10% to account for the 2021 changes 😡
I said I would not even try to meet these new targets
Mine increased the wRVU total before getting into bonus time...from 4000 to 4800. I clear that easily so it really made no difference to me. But I definitely will negotiate a higher per dollar amount come next year when contract is up.
What changes in 2021 are they basing this on?

RVUs for E&M codes went up.
That's a good thing right
2021 E&M changes. Outpatient E&M code wRVUs went up as did wRVUs for 90792. However inpatient codes stayed the same. Psychotherapy add on codes stayed the same. I do a mix of inpt and outpatient consultation so it was worse for me.
The whole point of these changes was to increase reimbursement to physicians in cognitive specialties but these hospitals are just pocketing the money instead of passing it on to physicians. I have heard some groups never transitioned their staff to the new wRVU system, and those that did cut the conversion factor and/or increased the wRVU requirements. Such a scam.
Illegitimi non carborundum
I know what what you mean, but that actually translates to something borderline incomprehensible like 'the illegal things not the thing which must be made into charcoal'
