What Is the Relative Value Unit of Being "On Call"?

Joseph J Stella et al. Cureus. .

Abstract

There is very little information on what is the relative value unit (RVU) for a physician being "on call." This paper proposes a broad construct to devise a formula for the RVU of being on call.

Keywords: on call; relative value unit.
