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 44207 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (31.12 + 11.9 + 6.36) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,649.34. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,649.34 because facility PE RVU (11.9) replaces office PE RVU.
