2011-13052 Medicare Program; Five-Year Review of Work Relative Value Units Under the Physician Fee Schedule Proposed Rule This proposed notice sets forth proposed revisions to work relative value units (RVUs) and corresponding changes to the practice expense and malpractice RVUs affecting payment for physicians' services. The statute requires that we review RVUs no less often than every 5 years. This is our Fourth Five-Year Review of Work RVUs since we implemented the physician fee schedule (PFS) on January 1, 1992.
