When an organization uses its own internal models, someone must know how to manage the process of performing annual adjustments for surveys, market data, RVU fluctuations, and changes in reimbursement and inflation.

- Hardwire a sound process
Automated solutions can help you establish more than FMV support alone. A question you should answer when entering into a compensation arrangement: Does the arrangement make “business sense (FMV)” and “business cents (CR)”?The Pulse FMV Calculator makes sure your process for obtaining FMV and CR opinions is sound.
