Obstetrics & Gynecology wRVU Rate 2026
What Obstetrics & Gynecology attending physicians are paid per work RVU (wRVU), from 58 approved SalaryDr reports, data as of September 24, 2026.
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 Obstetrics & Gynecology 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 Obstetrics & Gynecology attending on SalaryDr reports $425,000 in total compensation, from 76 approved reports. That includes base salary, bonuses and other pay, so it is not simply rate × volume. See Obstetrics & Gynecology salary data.
