JD: I Want to increase my productivity

PRODUCTIVITY REPORT FOR DR. JOHN DOE

SUMMARY

Dr. Doe, your practice generated 652.6 RVUs in 2025 (year-to-date) and 4,864.3 RVUs in 2024. Your current productivity places you at approximately the 50th percentile benchmark (4,000-6,000 RVUs/year). To reach the 75th percentile (6,001-8,000 RVUs/year), you would need to generate an additional 1,136-3,136 RVUs annually, depending on your target within that range.

INSIGHTS

1. Procedure Mix Analysis: Your highest RVU-generating procedures are colonoscopies and laparoscopic surgeries. CPT 45385 (Flexible colonoscopy with removal of tumor using snare) and CPT 45380 (Flexible colonoscopy with single biopsy) account for 27.6% of your total procedure volume but generate 21.1% of your total RVUs.
2. Productivity Patterns: Your RVU generation shows significant variation, with March 2025 producing only 111.4 RVUs compared to your 2024 monthly average of 405.4 RVUs. Your peak productivity in 2024 was in January (749.6 RVUs) and June (632.5 RVUs).
3. Procedure Efficiency: Your average RVU per procedure is 4.7. However, certain procedures yield substantially higher RVU values – CPT 47562 (Surgical laparoscopy with cholecystectomy) at 10.5 RVUs per procedure and CPT 49594 (Initial robotic repair of strangulated ventral hernia) at 13.5 RVUs per procedure.
4. Workload Distribution: In your most productive months, you performed 4-6 procedures per day. Currently, your daily average is approximately 0.7 procedures, indicating significant capacity for additional volume.

ACTION PLAN TO REACH 75TH PERCENTILE

1. Targeted Procedure Increase:
   • Add 2-3 additional high-RVU procedures weekly:
     • 1 additional CPT 47562 (Surgical laparoscopy with cholecystectomy) = 10.5 RVUs/week or 546 RVUs/year
     • 1 additional CPT 49650 (Surgical laparoscopy with repair of initial inguinal hernia) = 6.4 RVUs/week or 333 RVUs/year
     • 1 additional CPT 45385 (Flexible colonoscopy with removal of tumor using snare) = 4.6 RVUs/week or 239 RVUs/year
   • This addition alone would generate approximately 1,118 additional RVUs annually, bringing you to the 75th percentile threshold.
2. Block Schedule Optimization:
   • Schedule dedicated days for specific procedure types to improve efficiency:
     • Two colonoscopy days per week (6-8 procedures total)
     • Two surgical days per week (3-4 procedures total)
     • One office day for follow-ups and consultations
   • This structure would increase your weekly procedure volume by 25-30%, potentially adding 1,200-1,500 RVUs annually.
3. Case Mix Enhancement:
   • Increase your proportion of complex laparoscopic procedures:
     • Target a 15% increase in CPT 47563 (Surgical laparoscopy with cholecystectomy and cholangiography) – each case adds 11.5 RVUs
     • Target a 10% increase in CPT 44207 (Surgical laparoscopy with partial colectomy and coloproctostomy) – each case adds 31.9 RVUs
     • Adding just 5 cases of CPT 44207 and 10 cases of CPT 47563 annually would generate 319.5 additional RVUs

This plan would generate approximately 1,437-1,819 additional RVUs annually, placing you solidly in the 75th percentile range (6,300-6,680 total RVUs) without requiring dramatic changes to your practice.

JD: How can I increase my colonoscopy volumes

INCREASING YOUR COLONOSCOPY VOLUME

Dr. Doe, based on your data, I see excellent opportunities to increase your colonoscopy volume, which would significantly boost your RVU generation given your expertise in these procedures.

ACTIONABLE STRATEGIES

1. Establish Direct Primary Care Referral Relationships
   • Identify 3-5 high-volume primary care physicians in your area who currently refer elsewhere
   • Offer to meet personally to discuss your colonoscopy outcomes and efficient scheduling process
   • Provide them with direct scheduling access or a dedicated referral coordinator contact
2. Implement a Colorectal Cancer Screening Program
   • Partner with 1-2 large local employers to offer dedicated screening days for their employees
   • Create a streamlined prep and procedure process that minimizes time away from work
   • According to your data, adding just one dedicated screening day monthly (6-8 procedures) would generate 324-432 additional RVUs annually
3. Optimize Your Procedure Mix Within Colonoscopies
   • Your data shows CPT 45385 (Flexible colonoscopy with removal of tumor using snare) generates 4.6 RVUs per procedure compared to 3.6 RVUs for CPT 45380 (single biopsy)
   • Ensure all appropriate polyps are removed during initial colonoscopy rather than scheduling follow-up procedures
   • Adding just 2 additional CPT 45385 procedures weekly would generate approximately 478 RVUs annually
4. Create a Direct-to-Patient Marketing Campaign
   • Develop simple educational materials about colorectal cancer screening that your current patients can share with family members
   • Implement a “family screening” initiative where patients can help schedule screenings for eligible relatives
   • Based on typical conversion rates, this could generate 2-4 additional screenings weekly
5. Establish a Relationship with Gastroenterology Overflow
   • Reach out to busy gastroenterology practices in your area that may have backlogs
   • Offer to take their overflow screening colonoscopies with rapid scheduling
   • One partnering practice could easily provide 3-5 additional weekly colonoscopies (783-1,305 RVUs annually)

Each of these approaches can be implemented within 30-60 days and could realistically increase your colonoscopy volume by 8-12 procedures weekly, generating approximately 1,900-2,860 additional RVUs annually.

Dear Dr. [Last Name],
Re: Enhanced Colonoscopy Screening Partnership Opportunity
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to introduce an opportunity that could benefit both your patients and practice through improved access to timely colonoscopy screenings.
As a board-certified surgeon with specialized expertise in colonoscopy procedures, I have recently expanded my practice capacity to accommodate additional screening and diagnostic colonoscopies with minimal wait times. My practice is currently achieving excellent quality metrics, including:

• Average adenoma detection rate of >35%
• Complete cecal intubation rate >98%
• Average procedure time of 22 minutes
• Same-day reporting of findings to referring physicians
• Patient satisfaction scores >95%

What I Can Offer Your Patients:

Priority Access: Dedicated slots for your patients with scheduling typically within 1-2 weeks
Efficient Process: Streamlined pre-procedure preparation and instruction process
Comprehensive Care: Complete removal of polyps during initial procedure when clinically appropriate

Image Recommendation: Use a professional photo in a white coat with a warm, approachable smile, or an image of your modern medical facility. Avoid clinical images that might be concerning to viewers.

Graphics Elements: Consider adding a simple infographic element showing “45+” to emphasize the recommended screening age, or a statistic about early detection success rates.

Timing Recommendation: Post mid-week (Tuesday-Thursday) in the morning (7-9am) or evening (5-7pm) when health engagement is typically higher on social platforms.
