MGMA RVU Calculator
The MGMA RVU Calculator combines CMS Medicare Physician Fee Schedule RVU values with MGMA (Medical Group Management Association) physician compensation benchmarks. MGMA publishes annual physician compensation and productivity survey data showing median, 25th, and 75th percentile wRVU production by specialty. This calculator converts CPT codes into Work RVU values using 2026 CMS data, then compares projected annual wRVU production to MGMA benchmarks to estimate compensation ranges at various percentile levels.

MGMA RVU Calculator - Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MGMA physician compensation survey?
MGMA (Medical Group Management Association) publishes the annual Physician Compensation and Production Survey, the most widely used physician benchmarking dataset in the US. The survey covers thousands of physicians across all specialties and provides 25th, median (50th), and 75th percentile data for total compensation, wRVU production, and dollar-per-wRVU rates. Health systems use MGMA data to establish fair market value (FMV) physician compensation.
How is wRVU-based physician compensation calculated using MGMA data?
wRVU-based physician compensation = annual wRVU production x dollar-per-wRVU rate. MGMA provides the median dollar-per-wRVU rates by specialty. Example: A family physician producing 4,500 wRVUs/year at $63/wRVU (MGMA 2024 median rate) earns $283,500 in wRVU-based compensation. Additional components may include base salary guarantee, quality bonuses, and leadership stipends.
What is the MGMA 75th percentile wRVU threshold by specialty?
MGMA 2024 data shows 75th percentile wRVU thresholds by specialty: Family Medicine: 6,200 wRVU | Internal Medicine: 6,800 wRVU | Orthopedic Surgery: 11,500 wRVU | Gastroenterology: 11,200 wRVU | Cardiology: 10,500 wRVU | Emergency Medicine: 7,800 wRVU. Physicians above the 75th percentile in wRVU production typically earn significantly above-median compensation.
How do health systems use MGMA data to set physician compensation?
Health systems use MGMA data to establish fair market value (FMV) compensation for physician employment contracts. FMV compliance requires that total physician compensation does not exceed a commercially reasonable level for the services provided - typically defined as the 75th percentile or below of MGMA survey compensation. Compensation above the 90th percentile requires additional fair market value analysis and documentation to meet Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute compliance requirements.
