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 54150 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (1.85 + 2.46 + 0.24) × $33.4009 ≈ $151.97. The same code in a facility setting pays about $84.17 because facility PE RVU (0.43) replaces office PE RVU.
