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 44111 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (16.11 + 7.57 + 3.43) × $33.4009 ≈ $905.5. The same code in a facility setting pays about $905.5 because facility PE RVU (7.57) replaces office PE RVU.
