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 15958 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (16.33 + 12.9 + 3.22) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,083.86. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,083.86 because facility PE RVU (12.9) replaces office PE RVU.
