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 68371 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (4.96 + 5.38 + 0.4) × $33.4009 ≈ $358.73. The same code in a facility setting pays about $358.73 because facility PE RVU (5.38) replaces office PE RVU.
