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 59614 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (20.48 + 4.88 + 6.57) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,066.49. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,066.49 because facility PE RVU (4.88) replaces office PE RVU.
