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 29584 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (0.34 + 1.88 + 0.01) × $33.4009 ≈ $74.48. The same code in a facility setting pays about $13.36 because facility PE RVU (0.05) replaces office PE RVU.
