Finding Medicare RBRVS (Resource Based Relative Value Scale) Information

Last Modified: November 1, 2001

Question
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
Hello. I am in search of the Medicare reasonable and customary fees. I have called everyone under the sun and surfed till I can surf no more.

Can anyone please help me find the Medicare reasonable & customary or RVU's. I am also looking for McGraw Hill and RBRVS (Resource Based Relative Value Scale) units while you're helping a lost soul.


Answer
The American Medical Association has a publication entitled "Medicare RBRVS: The Physicians' Guide" (ISBN 089970-684-3) which has the latest relative values, updated payment policies and revised conversion factors. For order information, call 800-621-8335. In addition, a listing of the Resource-Based Relative Value Units, with updated conversion factors, is published annually in the Federal Register.
