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 28106 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (7.17 + 4.11 + 0.6) × $33.4009 ≈ $396.8. The same code in a facility setting pays about $396.8 because facility PE RVU (4.11) replaces office PE RVU.
