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 58976 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (3.72 + 3.27 + 0.65) × $33.4009 ≈ $255.18. The same code in a facility setting pays about $186.38 because facility PE RVU (1.21) replaces office PE RVU.
