Frequency Adjusted Conversion Factor (FACF)

What is the FACF?

Your FACF, or Frequency Adjusted Conversion Factor, is literally the average dollars you charge per RVU point you perform.

It serves as a great measurement of the relative "cost" of your practice. Is someone who charges only $10 for a physical but $150 for a standard sick visit an expensive or inexpensive practice (besides being silly)? With your FACF, you can make that determination across all of your procedures. Your FACF is also instrumental as a guideline for setting your practice fees.
