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 45332 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (1.72 + 7.43 + 0.22) × $33.4009 ≈ $312.97. The same code in a facility setting pays about $95.86 because facility PE RVU (0.93) replaces office PE RVU.
