How RVU payment works in 2026

Every Medicare physician payment starts from three RVU components. Work RVU captures physician time, skill, and intensity — CPT 99214, the classic established-patient visit, carries 1.92. Practice expense RVU covers staff, space, and equipment; it is the only component that changes between office (2.00 for 99214) and facility (0.47) settings. Malpractice RVU (0.14 for 99214) reflects liability cost. Each component is multiplied by its local GPCI factor, summed to total RVU (4.06 for 99214 in an office at national rates), and multiplied by the 2026 conversion factor — about $135.61.

Physician compensation runs on a parallel track: annual wRVU production times a contracted dollars-per-wRVU rate (family medicine centers near $47 at a 5,200 median), usually with a base salary plus a threshold-and-bonus structure. Use the calculator above for payment math, the salary estimator for offer math, and the bulk tool when an entire claim list needs pricing at once.

Frequently asked questions

How is Medicare payment calculated from RVUs?

Total RVU (work + practice expense + malpractice, each GPCI-adjusted) times the conversion factor. For 2026 the standard factor is $33.4009 (QPP $33.5675). Example: CPT 99214 totals 4.06 RVU non-facility, about $135.61.

What is the difference between wRVU and total RVU?

Work RVU (for example 1.92 for CPT 99214) measures physician work only and drives compensation. Total RVU adds practice expense and malpractice and drives Medicare payment. Contracts pay on wRVU; claims pay on total RVU.

Why does the same CPT code pay differently by location?

GPCI adjusts each RVU component by locality. CPT 99214 ranges roughly $123.92 to $170.02 across CMS localities. Always model the exact locality, not a state average.
