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 45395 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (32.18 + 15.69 + 6) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,799.31. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,799.31 because facility PE RVU (15.69) replaces office PE RVU.
