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 92137 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (0.62 + 1.15 + 0.02) × $33.4009 ≈ $59.79. The same code in a facility setting pays about $59.79 because facility PE RVU (1.15) replaces office PE RVU.
