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 54344 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (16.63 + 6.66 + 2.14) × $33.4009 ≈ $849.38. The same code in a facility setting pays about $849.38 because facility PE RVU (6.66) replaces office PE RVU.
