CPT 96374 — IV push — single drug

2026 work RVU (wRVU)

What 96374 is worth

A wRVU is a unit of physician work, not a dollar amount. Your pay for 96374 is 0.18 × 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.
