How to use this tool?
This calculator computes total work Relative Value Units (wRVUs) for Evaluation and Management (E/M) office visit CPT codes. wRVUs measure physician work and are commonly used for productivity tracking and compensation models.
- Select a CPT Code – Choose from the dropdown (e.g., 99213 for a 15-minute established patient visit). Each code has a fixed wRVU value per service.
- Enter Quantity – Input the number of times the service was performed (minimum 1).
- Click "Calculate" – The tool multiplies the per-service wRVU by the quantity.
- Read the Result – Total wRVUs appear in green. A breakdown shows the calculation: CPT [code]: [wRVU per service] × [quantity].
Example: For 5 visits with CPT 99213 (0.97 wRVU each), the result is 4.85 wRVUs.
Note: All inputs are required. Invalid entries (empty code or quantity less than 1) trigger red error messages. Use whole numbers only for quantity.
