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 90480 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (0.24 + 0.45 + 0.02) × $33.4009 ≈ $23.71. The same code in a facility setting pays about $10.35 because facility PE RVU (0.05) replaces office PE RVU.
