What Healthcare Leaders Need to Know About Medicare Reimbursement Today
In 2014, BHM Healthcare Solutions published a foundational guide on Relative Value Units (RVUs) and how they shape Medicare reimbursement. Over a decade later, RVUs still play a key role in calculating physician compensation—but the landscape around them has shifted. With the continued rise of value-based care models and policy updates to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, understanding how RVUs are applied today is more important than ever.
In this updated post, we highlight key changes for 2025, including new conversion factors, updated geographic adjustments, and evolving documentation requirements. Healthcare leaders and revenue cycle managers should remain vigilant in tracking RVU trends, aligning compensation models with quality metrics, and ensuring coding accuracy to protect financial performance.
For a refresher on RVU fundamentals, we recommend revisiting our original blog: Understanding RVUs and Medicare Reimbursement.
