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 28112 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (4.51 + 9.43 + 0.49) × $33.4009 ≈ $481.97. The same code in a facility setting pays about $296.93 because facility PE RVU (3.89) replaces office PE RVU.
