CPT 96372 — Therapeutic shot — into muscle or under skin (IM/SubQ)
2026 work RVU (wRVU)
What 96372 is worth
A wRVU is a unit of physician work, not a dollar amount. Your pay for 96372 is 0.17 × your employer's $/wRVU rate — a figure negotiated in your contract, commonly in the ~$35–90 range depending on specialty and market. That rate is not the Medicare conversion factor (about $33 for 2026), which is a billing rate, not a pay rate. At an example $50/wRVU, one 96372 is about $8.50 of production credit.
How to track it
