This panel presentation will provide attendees with a distinct look into the Relative Value Scale Update Committee (RUC) survey process. This process is utilized by Medicare to determine the Relative Value Unit (RVU) valuation for all CPT codes. We will review why certain codes undergo the survey process and delineate the specific steps clinicians must go through when filling out the survey. Understanding of this is critical, as the data gained from these surveys directly affects the final RVU determination by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This is the physician’s primary opportunity to provide information regarding the work and worth of procedures. These surveys can often be confusing and are often ignored by physicians. Typical survey response rates hover around 1%. This presentation will provide education regarding the best way to think about these surveys and will encourage participants to take part in this process.
