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 75889 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (1.11 + 2.46 + 0.09) × $33.4009 ≈ $122.25. The same code in a facility setting pays about $122.25 because facility PE RVU (2.46) replaces office PE RVU.
