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 55110 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (6.17 + 3.84 + 0.86) × $33.4009 ≈ $363.07. The same code in a facility setting pays about $363.07 because facility PE RVU (3.84) replaces office PE RVU.
