Neurology RVU Calculator
The Neurology RVU Calculator converts neurology CPT codes into Work RVU, Practice Expense RVU, and Malpractice RVU. Neurology billing includes cognitive evaluation and management visits, electrodiagnostic procedures (EEG, EMG, nerve conduction studies), neurology consultations, and hospital inpatient services. Neurologists who perform frequent electrodiagnostic procedures generate significantly higher wRVU totals than those focused solely on cognitive evaluation. Built on 2026 CMS Medicare Physician Fee Schedule data with a conversion factor of $33.40.

How to Use the Neurology RVU Calculator
Follow 4 steps to calculate RVUs and estimate Medicare reimbursement for neurology rvu calculator services.
Enter CPT Code
Type any CPT code or search by description. The autocomplete shows wRVU values from the 2026 CMS Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. Use the chart above to find common specialty codes.
Select Place of Service
Choose Facility (hospital, ASC) or Non-Facility (office, independent clinic). The place of service directly determines the Practice Expense RVU applied to your calculation.
Adjust Units and GPCI
Enter the number of units performed. Adjust the GPCI for your geographic region. High-cost regions (NYC, SF, Boston) use GPCI values above 1.0 that increase Medicare payment.

Neurology RVU Calculator - Bulk wRVU Calculator
Neurology is a primarily cognitive specialty with lower wRVU production compared to surgical specialties. However, neurologists who perform frequent electrodiagnostic procedures generate significantly higher annual wRVU totals.

Neurology wRVU Benchmarks
Neurology is a primarily cognitive specialty with lower wRVU production compared to surgical specialties. However, neurologists who perform frequent electrodiagnostic procedures generate significantly higher annual wRVU totals.
Neurology wRVU Benchmarks (MGMA 2024)
4,800-6,000 wRVUs/year. Primarily E&M visits and hospital consultations with moderate procedure volume.
5,500-7,500 wRVUs/year. EEG monitoring (95812-95822) and epilepsy monitoring unit management adds procedural wRVU production.
6,500-9,000 wRVUs/year. High-volume EMG and nerve conduction studies (8+ per half-day) generate substantial additional wRVU output.
5,000-7,000 wRVUs/year. Botulinum toxin injections for chronic migraine (CPT 64615) add procedural wRVU per session every 12 weeks.
Neurology is a primarily cognitive specialty with lower wRVU production compared to surgical specialties. However, neurologists who perform frequent electrodiagnostic procedures generate significantly higher annual wRVU totals.
Neurology RVU Calculator - Frequently Asked Questions
What is the wRVU for an EMG with nerve conduction study?
A 4-extremity EMG study (CPT 95861 for 2 limbs at 4.07 wRVU) combined with nerve conduction studies generates 6-12 wRVU per session depending on nerves tested. Nerve conduction studies are billed per limb/nerve with add-on codes for additional nerves. This makes a full EMG/NCS session one of the higher-wRVU neurology encounters.
How do neurologists bill for hospital consultations?
Neurologists bill under initial hospital care codes (99221-99223) for first-time inpatient encounters. Medicare does not recognize consultation codes - neurologists use initial hospital care codes for first-time encounters regardless of the consulting nature. Some private payers still accept inpatient consultation codes (99251-99255).
Can neurologists bill for both EEG and office visit on the same day?
Yes. Neurologists can bill an E&M visit and an EEG procedure on the same date when the services are separately identifiable. Modifier 25 must be appended to the E&M code when performed on the same day as a procedure with a 0-day global period. The E&M must be documented as a separately identifiable service.
What is the wRVU for botulinum toxin injections for chronic migraine?
Botulinum toxin injection for chronic migraine (CPT 64615) carries 2.18 wRVU. The drug (onabotulinumtoxinA) is separately billed under HCPCS code J0585 and is not included in the procedure RVU. Botulinum toxin injections are performed every 12 weeks for chronic migraine, generating consistent recurring procedural wRVU production.
