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 59100 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (13.04 + 5.85 + 4.18) × $33.4009 ≈ $770.56. The same code in a facility setting pays about $770.56 because facility PE RVU (5.85) replaces office PE RVU.
