RVUcalc is a simple, easy-to-use tool specifically designed to allow healthcare providers to calculate their productivity as measured in Relative Value Units (RVUs). RVUcalc is engineered to be simple and lightning fast, allowing busy providers to rapidly access their productivity data while providing care. The elegant and intuitive interface allows providers to get started managing their productivity immediately. Two special function buttons allow providers to save their most frequently billed codes for immediate access at the touch of a single button, while productivity calculations are performed instantly and automatically. Swipe left to delete erroneous entries while RVUcalc automatically adjusts calculations. Multiple instances of the same code can be entered quickly by simply repeating a button press. By calculating productivity data at the point-of-care with RVUcalc, providers can analyze and optimize their billing practices to ensure maximal efficiency and compensation for the care they provide. RVUcalc has further functionality as a coding reference, as each entered CPT code will return both its RVU value and a description of the procedure that the code represents. The simplicity of RVUcalc belies its power and versatility which make RVUcalc an indispensable tool in almost any point-of-care scenario. RVUcalc is ideal for employed physicians on productivity-based compensation models, or any provider who is interested in maximizing efficiency and compensation for the work they provide. No longer do you have to rely blindly on a health care administrator to provide you with accurate productivity data. RVUcalc empowers you to take control of your own productivity, quickly and easily, ensuring that you are receiving the compensation you are entitled to for the work you have performed.
