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 37145 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (36.08 + 13.7 + 9.67) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,985.68. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,985.68 because facility PE RVU (13.7) replaces office PE RVU.
