HAP Radiology Billing and Coding Blog

It’s natural to want to compare one’s performance against others or to some standard. Radiologists often chat among themselves about the number of exams per year they read or maybe the number of RVU’s (Relative Value Units) they generate. While there are inherent problems with some of these comparisons as we outlined in our recent article Understanding the Value of RVUs in Radiology, measuring and monitoring productivity can be beneficial to a radiology practice and to the individual radiologist.

The term “Relative Value Units”, or RVUs, forms the basis for payment of physician fees by Medicare and other payers, and can be used to measure physician productivity for a variety of purposes. Healthcare Administrative Partners (HAP) can help you navigate today's RVU challenges in radiology and maximize your revenue.
