20 Employment Agreement - RVUs In 1992, the government created the resource-based relative value scale (RBRVS) as the system through which medical services are reimbursed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). In the RBRVS system, reimbursement is determined by estimating i costs associated with ihproviding a specific service. Under this system, every procedure (CPT) code is assigned a relative value in each of three areas: The physician work involved in the service (i.e., WRVU). The WRVU reflects the relative level of time and effort associated with providing a specific service. The practice expense (PE) generated by (or attributable to) the procedure (i.e., PE RVU). The cost of professional liability needed to provide the service (i.e., malpractice [MP] RVU). The total RVU is equal to the sum of these three components and has become the basis for reimbursement from most governmental and nongovernmental payors. 20
