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 45910 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (2.78 + 2.37 + 0.48) × $33.4009 ≈ $188.05. The same code in a facility setting pays about $188.05 because facility PE RVU (2.37) replaces office PE RVU.
