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 45300 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (0.78 + 3.54 + 0.13) × $33.4009 ≈ $148.63. The same code in a facility setting pays about $45.09 because facility PE RVU (0.44) replaces office PE RVU.
