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 41114 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (8.6 + 6.56 + 1.26) × $33.4009 ≈ $548.44. The same code in a facility setting pays about $548.44 because facility PE RVU (6.56) replaces office PE RVU.
