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 37296 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (11 + 77.24 + 2.57) × $33.4009 ≈ $3,033.14. The same code in a facility setting pays about $501.35 because facility PE RVU (1.44) replaces office PE RVU.
