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 19368 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (33.05 + 17.28 + 6.15) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,886.48. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,886.48 because facility PE RVU (17.28) replaces office PE RVU.
