Our radiology department is in violation of the antitrust statutes by developing a fee schedule using College of American Radiology relative value units (RVUs). You must establish a new RVU system before we can set FY 2021 rates. The radiology manager has already completed some of the work and I'll send it over to you [see Table IV at the end of this case study]. 

Develop a hospital-specific RVU schedule and assign 2021 radiology department rates. (Total radiology expenses for 2021, including hospital indirect costs, which must be covered by the department, are projected to be $20 million.)
