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 50593 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (8.66 + 95.37 + 0.95) × $33.4009 ≈ $3,506.43. The same code in a facility setting pays about $398.81 because facility PE RVU (2.33) replaces office PE RVU.
