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 58550 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (14.72 + 6.21 + 2.62) × $33.4009 ≈ $786.59. The same code in a facility setting pays about $786.59 because facility PE RVU (6.21) replaces office PE RVU.
