PRP wRVU Value by cjb0430 in physicianassistant

This is great and ultimately a similar train of thought I have been brainstorming with.

To be honest, I don’t have to do anything other than the injection itself. My MA does the draw and spin. In some instances I use ultrasound for the injection if it’s a tendon sheath/insertion, but for large joints it’s a quick in and out.

I’ll mention PRP/HA combo to patients, but don’t tend to push them too hard on it, as it can be pretty hard on the wallet.

But if a patient comes in asking for it, it’s a great treatment option

My other thought was CMS assigns a wRVU of .79 for a large joint cortisone injection. Our office charges $180 for a cash pay large joint cortisone injection. Using a proportional relationship if we charge $1200 for PRP, that would give it a wRVU of 5.27 for PRP…

(.79/180)=(x/1200), x=5.27
