E&M Services and IR Specialization Tied to Higher Procedural Complexity

Radiologist IR specialization most strongly predicted higher procedural complexity (OR 74.74; 95% CI 65.81–84.89). Each additional E&M wRVU was associated with 0.14 more procedural wRVUs (P=.045).

• Practices with >90% IR work had 1.62 times the odds of performing a procedure with ≥5 wRVUs compared to those with ≤10% IR work (95% CI 1.34–1.96).
• Non-physician practitioner E&M wRVUs per procedure were also associated with higher procedural complexity (0.14 wRVU increase per 1 wRVU, P=.038).
