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 54120 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (10.73 + 5.14 + 1.39) × $33.4009 ≈ $576.5. The same code in a facility setting pays about $576.5 because facility PE RVU (5.14) replaces office PE RVU.
