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 50782 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (19.17 + 7.19 + 2.48) × $33.4009 ≈ $963.28. The same code in a facility setting pays about $963.28 because facility PE RVU (7.19) replaces office PE RVU.
