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 53080 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (6.75 + 4.04 + 0.87) × $33.4009 ≈ $389.45. The same code in a facility setting pays about $389.45 because facility PE RVU (4.04) replaces office PE RVU.
