Do Nurse Practitioners earn RVUs?
Yes. Nurse Practitioners bill the same CPT codes as physicians, and each code carries the same CMS work RVU — a 99214 office visit is 1.92 wRVUs in 2026, unchanged from 2024. Medicare pays 85% of the physician fee schedule when a Nurse Practitioner bills under their own NPI, so ask whether an RVU-based contract credits wRVUs at 100% or 85%. Only about 1.2% of live Nurse Practitioner postings on WeekdayDoc mention RVUs (November 2026).
