Our work CPT® RVU calculator provides a quick analysis of the work relative value units associated with a certain volume of CPT or HCPCS codes. By entering the appropriate code and the number of units associated with it, you will be given the total work RVUs and the individual work RVU value for that code. The RVU calculation results are based on the values supplied by CMS for work value units in the October 2017 National Physician Fee Schedule Relative Value File.
