RVS Update Committee (RUC)
As a multispecialty committee, the AMA/Specialty Society RVS Update Committee (RUC), is dedicated to delineating the resources required to deliver physician services. These determinations are integral to the development of Relative Value Units (RVUs) by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
While the RUC provides recommendations, it is the CMS that ultimately makes all final decisions regarding Medicare payments. Find out how the RUC plays an essential role in advocating for physicians and patients within the landscape of health care reimbursement.
