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 30903 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (1.5 + 6.18 + 0.28) × $33.4009 ≈ $265.87. The same code in a facility setting pays about $69.81 because facility PE RVU (0.31) replaces office PE RVU.
