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 19380 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (10.89 + 9.09 + 2.05) × $33.4009 ≈ $735.82. The same code in a facility setting pays about $735.82 because facility PE RVU (9.09) replaces office PE RVU.
