AbstractThe Resource Based Relative Value System (RBRVS) was established over fifteen years ago in an attempt to bring order to the Medicare reimbursement system. The RBRVS relies on a complicated formula to determine how much each procedure is worth. This article uses an unusual approach to describe the components of the RBRVS equation, how those relative values are developed and managed, and how they relate to each other, even though each one is calculated differently.
