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 41112 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (2.76 + 7.11 + 0.38) × $33.4009 ≈ $342.36. The same code in a facility setting pays about $225.79 because facility PE RVU (3.62) replaces office PE RVU.
