- If you are a Primary Care Physician or Non-Procedure Doctor, do you know how RVUs are set and what YOU need to do to make sure you are maximizing your revenue?
In this week’s episode I’m diving into the major differences in how commercial insurance and Medicare pay out RVUs and how that can have a huge impact on how much you make.
The biggest takeaway this week? Try to optimize your revenue by working with payors that have the highest Work RVU pay rates - in other words, those payors that recognize the value of better prevention and treatment of chronic disease.

Wow, very nicely put together. This is the exact reality of sick care financial system.
Thank you for watching and for your feedback.
All other professional communities outside of healthcare are reimbursed based within a time, expertise, and demand framework. The annual RVU update code-set is the largest revenue producer for the AMA. As we learn more about our broken system in healthcare, the more we learn about hidden fees and middlemen. The RVU framework is a great example of such and should be thrown out in favor of the established system of reimbursement seen with all other professional groups.
Thank you for watching and sharing your perspective.
Dr. Bricker I’d be interested to see some content geared towards post acute. IRFs, HHAs, Hospice, etc. Payment and conditions of participation maybe.
Summary on the Healthsouth saga would be interesting.
Thanks for the videos 👍
Let’s be real. No way PCP will ever be rewarded the same RVUs as other specialty docs.
Prevention by PCP is mainly via tests. But the main prevention comes from lifestyle changes, which PCPs are frankly really terrible at inducing. PCPs can use scare tactics but will run the risk of losing patients. Maybe the profession should equip PCPs with better communication skills and tools via curriculum enhancement. And I think Washington needs to set aside funds to provide patients with incentives for lasting lifestyle changes and reward PCPs with high success rate of inducing such changes.
Thank you for sharing your perspective.
Proceduralists should be compensated more for their training as in any other field. No arguments that prevention needs to be better compensated, however.
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts.
You mean like residency + fellowship for 6 years just to cut one bone in a knee? Lmfao get out of here with your subspecialty shil nonsense. It is not more difficult, nor requires more knowledge to do certain subspecialties. It's literally based on money. GTFO of here with that hogwash.
