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 44210 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (29.34 + 13.86 + 5.53) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,627.63. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,627.63 because facility PE RVU (13.86) replaces office PE RVU.
