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 50592 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (6.39 + 71.42 + 0.69) × $33.4009 ≈ $2,621.97. The same code in a facility setting pays about $297.6 because facility PE RVU (1.83) replaces office PE RVU.
