- Have you ever wondered how doctors are paid or why some doctors make more than others? The answer is RVUs. Relative Value Units are used by Medicare and insurance companies to determine how much a physician is paid for their services based on time spent with a patient. đž
Learn about the different types of RVUs, how RVUs are calculated, and the pros and cons of this system.

Should we make a fee-for-service vs value-based care video? Let us know what other topics you want in the comments. âŹ
Can you make a so you want to be video about pediatric cardiothorasic surgeons or about pediatric surgery Iâm such a fan and love your work đđ keep going and please try to make a pediatric cardiothorasic surgeon video thankyou đđđ
We need to see this!
as a family medicine resident physician, my attendings always tell us âyouâll learn the business laterââŠ.I think if they taught us the business while teaching us the medicine, we would actually understand what we were doing and deliver a better service for our patients! I donât understand why this has to be such a taboo topic in medicine. It seems like everyone wants to be so shady about it. Please continue delivering us content about these things, this is super helpful! Thank you!
Are we sure itâs not better to just keep the public and young people profession completely in the dark? Iâve always found it better when 3 people make decisions with zero accountability. Thatâs why our residency funding system has been perfect for so long!
You make it sound like the physician is being a bad teacher by not "teaching you the business." It's actually the opposite. He understands med students are super busy and doesn't want us to waste our time with "the business" instead of learning medicine. Unfortunately because of you're complaining, that family medcine physician might not be as nice to future med studets.
You're giving me vibes of one of those insufferable med students who gets mad when they get told to leave early for night shifts, or brings up stupid garbage to admin about how we should have training for a bunch of random nonmedical stuff like finance, SDOH, etc, thereby making your classmates lives worse with idiotic assignments.
If you wanna learn about "the business," do it on your own time with videos like this.
@@thefenerbahcesk4156OP is a resident. Not a student.
â @@thefenerbahcesk4156OP is a resident, not med student. Definitely should be learning the business of medicine from their attending.
Now this is content!!! Speaking about the topics of business in medical is what is needed. Please produce more
Please make that follow up video on the trend to value based care and how that will work and what factors will impact pay for different physicians and specialties. Thanks!
Yeah please do a video on value based care
Love this - we should definitely get more resources like this out there! You should do one on value based care and direct primary care
YES PLEASE!!! would love to know how much PCPâs get reimbursed per visit, how ICD-10 codes affect their pay, all that
Excellent video, Dr. Jubbal! Iâve been watching your videos since high school. Next month, Iâm starting medical school, and I owe a lot of success to your YT videos. Thank you for all you do, and please continue making videos like this one about how our healthcare system works! Iâd love to see a video on value-based care!
Love reading comments like these. Congrats!!
An important and terribly useful video! Physician compensation is way too opaque. Thanks!
Would definitely love a video on how value-based care is determined!
From your very good discussion of the topic, many might think that the reimbursement system is relatively simple and fair. Others, I among them, don't think so. Earlier this year I had occasion to inquire about a scan to be performed at one of our major medical centers, a 1000 bed teaching hospital. The insurance reimbursement to the hospital was approx. $1200. If the same study were to be performed on an uninsured pt. who would be expected to pay from his own resources, the charge would have been $16,000. When I asked my surgeon, an employee of the hospital, whether he knew what the private-pay charge was for that study, he said that he had heard it was about $64,000. So, even he was clueless.
The CEO of the same hospital is paid $2.3 million/yr. exclusive of bonuses.
This video is GOLD! One of the most important videos so far. Thank you.
World definitely love your take on value-based care. Iâve taken several courses on it and I think your approach would be fascinating.
Compared to what financial and business consultants make. Especially that what a physician is providing, considering the similarities in the concept of services. Physicians are compensated less âŠ
Great video!!
thank you so much for the incredible information of this video. i would love to see a video about value based care!!
A video on value based care would be great!
Would love to see a "so you want to be a pulmonary and Critical Care physician"
I would love to learn more about value based care!
I'm a veteran who gets care through the VA. I don't have any CPT codes in my medical records, but of course, most of my doctors are full-time VA employees, so they're salaried.
fwiw: I have personally been extremely impressed with the vast majority of medical care that I've gotten from the VA. Mental health care, not so much. That's not to say the medical care has been perfect, but it really has been quite good.
If you want good mental health care, go to a stand-alone psychiatric hospital.
I recommend inpatient whether itâs a serious issue or not, as itâs usually not worth waiting for an outpatient appointment. But it can be hard to get into an inpatient facility if youâre not actively experiencing psychotic symptoms
Please please make the value base care vid
Please do VBC đđŒđđŒđđŒđđŒ we need this info and thanks for this valuable video
Hi Dear,
Your videos are awesome, btw I don't know how to choose my career in Health care. If you make a video in general I think it will be great.
Hi! Can you make a video about BSMD programs? Thank you
Iâm interested in how this produces very different incomes across different specialties in the US. How do other countries pay their physicians? It seems to me that most other places not only pay their physicians less, but that thereâs less variability in physician pay across specialties.
This video is gasssss
Its pretty cool how you have diverse characters in your videos. Some other creators lack this and think all physicians come in only one shade.
Thank you! It's something we take great care in portraying.
Just commenting for the algorithm đ
Could you do a so you want to be a CRNA please?
Are you still practicing because I'd love to have you around my rotations. PGY-6 Neurosurgery
He quit residency years ago.
I cover why I quit plastics and more of my journey over on my personal channel: czcams.com/users/kevinjubbalmd
My boy Kevin sounding different
đ€ was still me, wonder what was different
Was wondering same. Is it A.I Kevin??
â@@princekarl4279 All Med School Insiders videos are still recorded by Dr. Jubbal. It's a lengthy process, but we believe it's worth it!
@@MedSchoolInsiders gotchađ
Can you cover optometry in detail please.
Those are not medical doctors which what he covers.
Heâs covered dentists, nurse practitioners, physician associates as well. You might wanna check out his entire channel bud. đ
@@justwatchvideos11oh wow I didnât know that! I only watched the important videos for MDs! Not the irrelevant ones.
@@jlgtco97 uhh in that case I suggest you go back to pre med school and learn to refrain from making statements without due scientific research, part of which is also accurate data collection.
@@jlgtco97 dude I cant wait for your first day of rotations and a nurse to come and show you your position.
And if you wouldâve watched the relevant stuff on this channel you woulda realised how many times he says your ego is not what you should do med for.
Btw Iâm an ophthalmologist, a medical doctor as some would say and wanted an optometry video so people understand the difference between the two.
