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 90792 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (4.16 + 1.72 + 0.17) × $33.4009 ≈ $202.08. The same code in a facility setting pays about $159.32 because facility PE RVU (0.44) replaces office PE RVU.
