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 37280 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (9.8 + 68.64 + 2.31) × $33.4009 ≈ $2,697.12. The same code in a facility setting pays about $447.57 because facility PE RVU (1.29) replaces office PE RVU.
