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 92201 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (0.39 + 0.34 + 0.02) × $33.4009 ≈ $25.05. The same code in a facility setting pays about $18.37 because facility PE RVU (0.14) replaces office PE RVU.
