CMS shipped the Q4 2017 Physician Fee Schedule as the RVU17D release — rvu17d.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 RVU17D source page.
