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 44147 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (32.85 + 12.46 + 7.35) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,758.89. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,758.89 because facility PE RVU (12.46) replaces office PE RVU.
