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 30802 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (2.03 + 6.02 + 0.29) × $33.4009 ≈ $278.56. The same code in a facility setting pays about $183.37 because facility PE RVU (3.17) replaces office PE RVU.
