• W4214907512 abstract "Background Work relative value units (wRVUs) are linked to clinical reimbursements and physician compensation in the USA and thus should consider the time of the physician providing care. The primary goal of this study is to assess whether wRVUs appropriately consider operative time in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Methods The 2015–2018 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program was queried for the 50 most performed plastic surgery cases with assigned wRVUs and a recorded operative time. Linear regressions were used to assess the relationships between operative time, assigned wRVUs, and wRVUs per hour. The procedures with the highest and lowest assigned wRVUs relative to their operative time were identified. Results A total of 31,156 cases were included in this analysis. Among the 50 most performed procedures, the median (range) for assigned wRVUs was 10.0 (1.0–42.6), operative time was 61 min (21–441), and wRVUs per hour was 8.7 (2.2–16.2). There was a strong positive linear correlation between assigned wRVUs and median operative time (R2=0.78), with each additional operative hour being associated with an increase of 5.3 wRVUs (p<0.001). The procedures earning the most wRVUs relative to their operative times were breast reconstruction with other techniques and tissue expander placement in breast reconstruction. However, excisional debridements of the muscle/fascia and subcutaneous tissue had the lowest earned wRVUs relative to their operative times. Conclusion Although wRVUs and operative time are correlated in plastic surgery, numerous outliers from this trend exist. This suggests that wRVUs may not be optimally assigned across the range of plastic surgery procedures.
