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 15934 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (13.34 + 10.78 + 2.48) × $33.4009 ≈ $888.46. The same code in a facility setting pays about $888.46 because facility PE RVU (10.78) replaces office PE RVU.
