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 28092 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (3.69 + 8.57 + 0.39) × $33.4009 ≈ $422.52. The same code in a facility setting pays about $260.86 because facility PE RVU (3.73) replaces office PE RVU.
