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 88377 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (1.37 + 10.09 + 0.04) × $33.4009 ≈ $384.11. The same code in a facility setting pays about $384.11 because facility PE RVU (10.09) replaces office PE RVU.
