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 28200 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (4.62 + 9.92 + 0.56) × $33.4009 ≈ $504.35. The same code in a facility setting pays about $312.97 because facility PE RVU (4.19) replaces office PE RVU.
