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 59200 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (1.17 + 2.37 + 0.36) × $33.4009 ≈ $130.26. The same code in a facility setting pays about $59.79 because facility PE RVU (0.26) replaces office PE RVU.
