Occupational Therapy of Your Area (OTYA) wants to figure out the average cost of three physical therapy services. The practice uses a cost of $60 per RVU for its physical therapists, who are all contract workers paid by the relative value units they create. Physical therapy aides are paid $20/hr. They spend 15 minutes per service. The administrator of OTYA believes that RVUs are a solid way to reflect the cost of space, equipment use and administration. The total cost is $300,000.
