CMS shipped the Q3 2026 Physician Fee Schedule as the RVU26C release — rvu26c-updated-06-30-2026.zip . Every amount on this page was computed from the member files inside it. CMS reshuffles columns between releases and sometimes re-publishes files in place, so we parse by header name and version every drop — the numbers here stay reproducible. Checksums, download links, and a column-by-column guide to what's inside are on the RVU26C source page.
