CMS shipped the Q1 2024 Physician Fee Schedule as the RVU24A release — rvu24ar-posted-04-01-2024.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 RVU24A source page.
