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 44310 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (17.15 + 7.97 + 3.85) × $33.4009 ≈ $967.62. The same code in a facility setting pays about $967.62 because facility PE RVU (7.97) replaces office PE RVU.
