Fee/RVU File Formatting and Resources

Fee/RVU File Formatting and Resources


All Fee and RVU Schedules can be created in the Fee/RVU Management Library.

The following resources can be found on the CMS website.


Before uploading a Fee/RVU Schedule in Fee/RVU Management, all files must be in csv format.

  • The files must be created exactly as shown below.
  • If a file is uploaded, and it contains 0 Items after the upload, the file was probably not created correctly.
  • Follow the instructions below exactly as stated.


Prepare a CSV Document for Upload

Download the CMS Physicians Fee Schedule or RVU Schedule in Excel format.

  • Make the changes to the file as shown below and save it in a csv (comma delimited) file format.
  • The file will not upload in any other format.
  • All columns must be deleted except the ones shown below.
  • If you are creating your own file, use the same instructions below.


Formatting the CSV File

Create three Columns labeled as follows:

  • Column A: CPT® (All CAPS)
  • Column B: Modifier
  • The first letter is capitalized.
  • If there is no modifier, leave the cell blank.
  • Column C: Fee
  • The first letter is capitalized.
  • Do not use $ signs.
  • The fees can be entered with decimals or no decimals, but all must be entered the same.
  • Example: 175 or 175.00


Key Formatting Issues

  • Do not use any formatting, such as bold, italics, borders, etc.
  • Do not enter any special characters (unless otherwise specified)
  • There should be no blank rows.
  • If there are any blank rows, delete them before uploading the file.
  • Save the spreadsheet in csv format.
  • Example: Medicare Fees 2025.csv


Billing Provider, Facilities, Insurances, and Plans Panels

The check box beside each section in a panel can be used to Include All or Exclude All in that section.

  • Example:
  • In the Billing Provider panel, PRV B is unchecked, which un-checks all of the subsections underneath it.
  • If the check box is green, it indicates that all Providers are not included.
  • Use the Collapse link to minimize all subsections in the panel.
  • Use the Check/Uncheck All to select or deselect all check boxes.
