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 44139 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (2.17 + 0.54 + 0.49) × $33.4009 ≈ $106.88. The same code in a facility setting pays about $106.88 because facility PE RVU (0.54) replaces office PE RVU.
