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 28600 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (1.97 + 3.56 + 0.17) × $33.4009 ≈ $190.39. The same code in a facility setting pays about $157.99 because facility PE RVU (2.59) replaces office PE RVU.
