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 58953 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (33.28 + 14.73 + 7.24) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,845.4. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,845.4 because facility PE RVU (14.73) replaces office PE RVU.
