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 37284 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (10 + 156.29 + 2.3) × $33.4009 ≈ $5,631.06. The same code in a facility setting pays about $461.6 because facility PE RVU (1.52) replaces office PE RVU.
