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 76885 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (0.72 + 3.16 + 0.06) × $33.4009 ≈ $131.6. The same code in a facility setting pays about $131.6 because facility PE RVU (3.16) replaces office PE RVU.
