What to Do When You Need to Double Check wRVUs
Darcy Devine • March 12, 2018
Work RVUs (wRVUs) are commonly used to measure physician productivity. Under many physician compensation plans, physicians are paid a specific dollar amount for each wRVU generated. Since a significant amount of money may be tied to wRVUs – it is important that employers calculate them correctly and have confidence that wRVU totals accurately reflect the amount of work done by their physicians.
We recommend periodically testing wRVU inputs and related data to help make sure physicians are paid appropriately. See the graphic for a summary of tests/analyses that can be done to assess whether the wRVU calculations being used to compensate physicians at your organization are appropriate.

On Monday, December 3, 2018, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) – in collaboration with the Departments of the Treasury and Labor, the Federal Trade Commission, and several offices within the White House – released a report detailing recommendations for improving choice and competition in the healthcare industry.
One of the questions we get asked a lot is how valuations have changed over time.
One of the many benefits of tracking healthcare transactions closely and maintaining a very large database of deals where we can get reliable price to EBITDA and revenue multiples is that it provides insight into profit margins for segments where other financial benchmarking information is sparse.
The most important component of a valuation of an accountable care organization (or other multi-provider network that relies on risk-based shared savings models) is the revenue forecast, which involves “probability-adjusting” future shared savings payments in some manner.
