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 49595 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (13.59 + 4.03 + 3.47) × $33.4009 ≈ $704.42. The same code in a facility setting pays about $704.42 because facility PE RVU (4.03) replaces office PE RVU.
