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 30468 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (2.73 + 68.55 + 0.4) × $33.4009 ≈ $2,394.18. The same code in a facility setting pays about $145.63 because facility PE RVU (1.23) replaces office PE RVU.
