What a wRVU rate is

A work relative value unit (wRVU) measures the physician work in a service: the scale Medicare uses to price visits and procedures gives every billing code a number of wRVUs for its time, skill and intensity. A wRVU rate (or conversion factor) is what an employer pays for each wRVU a physician is credited with.

Productivity pay is the rate times the volume. Many contracts pay a base salary and apply the rate only to wRVUs above a threshold, so the same rate can mean different pay under different contracts.

Illustration, not SalaryDr data

5,000 wRVUs × $62.00 per wRVU = $310,000 in productivity pay.

The rate is the Hematology/Oncology median above; 5,000 wRVUs is a round number chosen for the arithmetic, not a benchmark. SalaryDr does not publish wRVU volumes because too few reports include them.

Total compensation, for context

The median Hematology/Oncology attending on SalaryDr reports $490,000 in total compensation, from 125 approved reports. That includes base salary, bonuses and other pay, so it is not simply rate × volume. See Hematology/Oncology salary data.
