CMS shipped the Q2 2026 Physician Fee Schedule as the RVU26B release — rvu26b-updated-05-01-2026.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.
