Common questions

What’s the difference between wRVU target and wRVUs per shift?

Both divide wRVUs by shifts. wRVUs per shift does that for one period and also gives you wRVUs per scheduled hour. wRVU target takes that pace, runs it across the shifts you plan to work, and compares the year with your annual target.

Are these benchmarks?

No. The calculators run on the numbers you enter. The RVU table is what CMS credits each code, not how many anyone bills. The Medicare page is what one payer paid for billed care, not what anyone earns.
