How are RVUs used?
RVUs are typically multiplied by regional conversion factors (CFs) to establish a dollar value for any intervention. For example, an RVU of 5.0 associated with ABC code CBAAA would be multiplied by a conversion factor of $6 to establish a fee of $30 for a mind-body treatment. For another service, the RVU might be 10.0 and, with the same conversion factor of $6, the baseline value would be $60.
