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 50606 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (3.08 + 10.76 + 0.4) × $33.4009 ≈ $475.63. The same code in a facility setting pays about $125.92 because facility PE RVU (0.29) replaces office PE RVU.
