Think as the RVUs as a consistent way to develop a fee schedule for a procedure based on the area of the country. Prior to RVUs there was “usual, customary, and reasonable” for reimbursing providers. RVUs helped Medicare create a Medicare Fee schedule. Many payers use the Medicare fee schedule as a starting point for designing their own Fee schedule. The RVU is a calculation to determine the value of each service.

First, the RVUs you cite above are the CPT code total RVUs. Physician compensation plans are typically based on physician work RVUs, not total RVUs. The physician work RVUs for 61154 are 17.07 and that is for a unilateral procedure as described by the code.
