How the payment is calculated
Total RVU is work plus practice expense plus malpractice, each adjusted by its GPCI factor, then multiplied by the conversion factor. For 15620 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (3.66 + 9.64 + 0.58) × $33.4009 ≈ $463.6. The same code in a facility setting pays about $304.62 because facility PE RVU (4.88) replaces office PE RVU.
