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 54308 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (12.3 + 5.55 + 1.58) × $33.4009 ≈ $648.98. The same code in a facility setting pays about $648.98 because facility PE RVU (5.55) replaces office PE RVU.
