Relative Value Scale

The Relative Value Scale (RVS) is a measurement system used to assign value to various medical services and procedures based on the resources, time, and skill required to perform them. It allows healthcare providers to compare the worth of different services relative to one another. By using the RVS, insurers and healthcare organizations can determine compensation rates for services, ensuring that providers are fairly reimbursed for their work. This system helps promote fairness in healthcare billing and ensures that similar services are valued appropriately based on their complexity and demands.
