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 55250 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (3.29 + 6.67 + 0.42) × $33.4009 ≈ $346.7. The same code in a facility setting pays about $218.11 because facility PE RVU (2.82) replaces office PE RVU.
