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 30420 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (16.48 + 20.31 + 2.5) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,312.32. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,312.32 because facility PE RVU (20.31) replaces office PE RVU.
