Relative Value Unit (as assigned to CCSA codes – not a Rand value).
The MDCM (Medical Doctor's Coding Manual) provides us the RVU (Relative Value Unit) for each code. Every service rendered, is allocated a relative value unit. This compares the relativity between the various services, based on time, expertise, difficulty, etc. The RVU is constant for the service rendered for a specific speciality and may not be changed.
