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 37191 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (4.35 + 51.45 + 0.64) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,885.15. The same code in a facility setting pays about $191.05 because facility PE RVU (0.73) replaces office PE RVU.
