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 44128 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (4.33 + 1.05 + 1.16) × $33.4009 ≈ $218.44. The same code in a facility setting pays about $218.44 because facility PE RVU (1.05) replaces office PE RVU.
