Do you guys have a good resource to look up wRVUs of the various clinic visits/procedures/surgeries that a pain physician commonly does? I've been looking at thepainsource, and that is a few years old and doesn't include everything.

Thank you.

I couldn't figure out how to use this. What is the HCPCS?

Here's what I use. It's from 2016, but it has RVU and wRVU numbers for just about every CPT code. I just ctrl-F my way through it when I want to look up something.

HCPCS includes three levels of codes:

• Level I consists of the American Medical Association's Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) and is numeric.
• Level II codes are alphanumeric and primarily include non-physician services such as ambulance services and prosthetic devices, and represent items and supplies and non-physician services, not covered by CPT-4 codes (Level I).
• Level III codes, also called local codes, were developed by state Medicaid agencies, Medicare contractors, and private insurers for use in specific programs and jurisdictions. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) instructed CMS to adopt a standard coding systems for reporting medical transactions. The use of Level III codes was discontinued on December 31, 2003, in order to adhere to consistent coding standards.
