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 30130 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (3.38 + 7.91 + 0.48) × $33.4009 ≈ $393.13. The same code in a facility setting pays about $393.13 because facility PE RVU (7.91) replaces office PE RVU.
