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 37718 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (6.95 + 2.15 + 1.76) × $33.4009 ≈ $362.73. The same code in a facility setting pays about $362.73 because facility PE RVU (2.15) replaces office PE RVU.
