📋 RVU Case Builder

Enter urology CPT codes, work RVUs, and units for a clinic day, a block of cases, or a sample month. The calculator totals work RVUs and applies a simple Medicare conversion factor for a dollar estimate.

Tip: pull RVUs from your current Medicare Physician Fee Schedule or payer grid.

What Is A Urology RVU Calculator

A Urology RVU Calculator is a simple tool that lets you model work RVUs for a urology provider or group. You plug in CPT codes, work RVUs, and units for visits and procedures. The calculator then totals RVUs and shows an estimated Medicare style revenue number.

It does not replace your billing system. Instead it gives you a clear, fast way to answer questions such as:

  • How many work RVUs do my clinic days generate versus OR days.
  • What happens to RVUs if I add another cystoscopy session each week.
  • Is my compensation plan in line with my work RVU production.
  • How much work RVU credit comes from new patient visits versus follow ups.
In short, this Urology RVU Calculator is a planning and education tool for urologists, practice managers, and group leaders who want to see a simple RVU picture without opening a complex report each time.

How The Urology RVU Calculator Works

The calculator is built around common United States work RVU concepts that flow from the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. You enter your own work RVU values so that the model stays up to date with your fee files.

  1. You enter annual or period specific data for each CPT line.
  2. You assign a work RVU value per CPT code based on your official table.
  3. You add the number of units for each service in the time frame you care about.
  4. The tool multiplies units by work RVU to get line RVUs and then totals them.
  5. You can also add a conversion factor per RVU so the calculator shows an estimated pro fee.
  6. The outputs show totals and a clinic versus procedure mix so the pattern is easy to spot.

Nothing is stored on the server. You can refresh the page and start again for a new urology RVU scenario at any time.

Inputs For The Urology RVU Calculator

Conversion factor per RVU

Many urologists tie compensation to work RVUs times a set dollar amount. That rate might match the Medicare conversion factor, or it might be a custom number for your group. Enter that value so the calculator can show an estimated revenue for the RVUs in your build.

Place of service tag

You can pick facility or office. In this version the tag is for your notes and does not change the math. Some groups use different conversion factors for clinic and hospital work. You can reflect that by running two separate scenarios.

Urology CPT codes and work RVUs

For each service line you can enter:

  • A service type such as clinic E M, cystoscopy, prostate procedure, or other.
  • The CPT code for that urology service.
  • A short description like new patient visit or TURP in OR.
  • The work RVU per unit pulled from your Medicare or payer table.
  • The number of units in the time period you are modeling.

The calculator multiplies work RVU by units to get line RVUs and adds those values for a total.

Reading The Urology RVU Calculator Output

Total work RVUs

The main number at the top shows total work RVUs for all urology services in your build. You can think of it as the credit that would feed a compensation plan or productivity report for that time period.

Estimated professional revenue

The calculator multiplies total work RVUs by your conversion factor and shows an estimated pro fee. This is a rough estimate. It does not include practice expense or malpractice RVUs and it does not model payer mix or write offs. It is only meant to give you a quick size feel for the dollars behind the work RVUs.

Average work RVU per unit

Average work RVU per unit is another way to look at coding intensity. A value that is very low may suggest a build that is heavy on short follow ups. A value that is very high may suggest a build that is heavy on OR work and complex procedures.

Clinic versus procedure mix

The calculator splits work RVUs into three broad buckets based on the service type field:

  • Clinic and E M work RVUs for office visits and consult codes.
  • Procedure work RVUs for cystoscopy, TURBT, TURP, stone cases, and other urology procedures.
  • Other work RVUs for urodynamics, imaging, small diagnostics, and uncategorized lines.

This makes it simple to see how much of the urology work RVU load comes from clinic and how much comes from procedures.

How To Use The Urology RVU Calculator Step By Step

Step 1: Choose a time window

Decide if you want to model a single clinic day, an OR block, a week, or a full month. A short window is helpful for education and code review. A longer window is helpful when you discuss goals and compensation.

Step 2: Gather CPT and work RVU data

From your billing system or your coder, pull a short list of urology CPT codes and the work RVUs that match your current year. You can also export a report that shows codes and units over a period and then copy those values into the calculator.

Step 3: Build case lines in the RVU calculator

Use the Add service line button to create lines for office visits, cystoscopy, prostate work, stone work, and any urodynamic or imaging codes you want to see. Input work RVUs and units for each CPT code. The Urology RVU Calculator updates total work RVUs and estimated revenue as you type.

Step 4: Review the mix and intensity

Look at the clinic versus procedure work RVU split and the average work RVU per unit. Ask if this matches your day in clinic or OR. Use that view in coding education and when you talk with partners about how volume and code choice drive work RVUs.

Step 5: Try what if scenarios

Change the units for certain urology codes and see how work RVUs move. You might test:

  • What happens if you add a cystoscopy half day each week.
  • How much RVU lift comes from a second OR block per month.
  • How many more work RVUs appear if new patient visits increase by ten per month.

Use the scenario label field to keep track of different ideas and save screenshots if you want to compare them later.

Limits Of A Simple Urology RVU Calculator

While a Urology RVU Calculator is useful for planning and teaching, it has clear limits. Real world revenue and compensation depend on many extra details:

  • Payer mix, contracts, and specific fee schedules for each plan.
  • Site specific rules such as facility versus office billing and global period issues.
  • Diagnosis mix, bundling rules, and local carrier edits.
  • Shared visits, split billing, and advanced practice provider models.

Always treat the results here as a rough model for urology work RVUs. Use your practice management system, your coder, and your finance team for exact numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Urology RVUs

Does this calculator load official Medicare RVUs for urology codes

No. This Urology RVU Calculator keeps things simple and private. You enter work RVU values for each CPT code based on your own fee schedule or coding resources.

Can I use this as a urology compensation calculator

You can use it to get a rough idea. If your contract pays a certain dollar amount per work RVU, you can put that number in the conversion factor field. The calculator will then show a simple estimate of compensation for the work RVUs in your build.

Is this Urology RVU Calculator only for physicians

No. Practice managers, coders, and advanced practice providers in urology can all use it. It works well in coding meetings and when you explain work RVUs to residents and fellows.

Does the calculator support non urology codes

Yes. You can enter any CPT code and work RVU value you want. The labels are tuned to urology, but the math is generic.

Does this replace legal or tax advice

No. It is just a free online calculator to help you think about urology RVUs. Always speak with qualified legal, tax, and contracting experts before you sign or change any agreement.

Start Using The Urology RVU Calculator

Add your urology CPT codes, work RVUs, and units, then apply your RVU conversion factor. Watch how total work RVUs and the clinic versus procedure mix change as you test new clinic templates and OR plans. Use this Urology RVU Calculator as a clear, visual way to talk about productivity and value in your urology practice.
