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 50100 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (17.01 + 9.13 + 4.54) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,024.74. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,024.74 because facility PE RVU (9.13) replaces office PE RVU.
