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 37215 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (17.31 + 4.7 + 4.62) × $33.4009 ≈ $889.47. The same code in a facility setting pays about $889.47 because facility PE RVU (4.7) replaces office PE RVU.
