I am hoping someone here can help me or point me in the right direction (up to and including a paid consultant!). We have a small southwest Michigan spine specialty physiatry practice. We run outpatient 5 week days from 8-5. We do EMG/NCS, lumbar injections under fluoro, assorted trigger point injections, etc. We have recently had an evaluation that indicates that our RVUs per provider FTE are low. We are at about 3000 RVUs per FTE provider. We are scrambling with finding an answer. So...if our schedules are full (not over-booked and 45/15 minutes per visit), our no show rate is 5% or less, what am I missing? Is someone out there willing to share what their mix is in terms of #visits and procedure mix? I think there are procedures we are just not doing to account for the difference in RVUs. We have gone through successful coding audits for several years that back up the fact that we are coding appropriately (not missing codes, over or under coding). Please help. The information that I have is that national RVU median for PMR is 4900...
