What can I do with this info?
Track your RVUs so you can estimate how much your RVU based pay should be.
For Example
You get paid $50 per RVU per month
In October, you generated 400 RVUs
Your RVU based pay should be
$50 x 400 = $20,000
Of course, you will need to know how your RVU based pay is calculated to estimate this!
