Checking a past service? “Calculate” opens the RVU calculator with that release’s date, the code and the payment locality already selected.

What a rate change tells you

The comparison holds the code, setting and payment-locality identifiers constant. Each release supplies its own RVUs, geographic indexes and conversion factor. A difference shows the combined result of those inputs; it does not identify a single policy cause.
