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 59841 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (5.51 + 5.42 + 1.76) × $33.4009 ≈ $423.86. The same code in a facility setting pays about $336.35 because facility PE RVU (2.8) replaces office PE RVU.
