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 88373 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (0.57 + 1.32 + 0.01) × $33.4009 ≈ $63.46. The same code in a facility setting pays about $63.46 because facility PE RVU (1.32) replaces office PE RVU.
