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 57454 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (2.27 + 2.3 + 0.4) × $33.4009 ≈ $166. The same code in a facility setting pays about $118.91 because facility PE RVU (0.89) replaces office PE RVU.
