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 37292 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (15 + 288.29 + 3.04) × $33.4009 ≈ $10,231.7. The same code in a facility setting pays about $679.04 because facility PE RVU (2.29) replaces office PE RVU.
