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 30115 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (4.33 + 8.03 + 0.62) × $33.4009 ≈ $433.54. The same code in a facility setting pays about $433.54 because facility PE RVU (8.03) replaces office PE RVU.
