Are You Paying Too Much for wRVUs?

Author: Matthew Wells, PhD, and Danielle DuBord

Whether you pay through a compensation model that rewards providers directly for their personally performed wRVU production or not, your organization focuses on production in some form or fashion. If not directly based upon wRVUs, your model may depend on professional collections, panel size, access/availability, other measures, and/ or a combination of several of these (related) metrics. These metrics, including wRVUs, point to the magnitude of providers’ engagement with their patients, which is the lifeblood of your organization.

Our white paper on Trends in Compensation Rates for Higher Producers explores common misunderstandings and trends in aligning compensation with productivity, with specific examples using the latest market data.
