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 37660 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (21.72 + 9.02 + 5.8) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,220.47. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,220.47 because facility PE RVU (9.02) replaces office PE RVU.
