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 45110 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (29.99 + 14.55 + 5.53) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,672.38. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,672.38 because facility PE RVU (14.55) replaces office PE RVU.
