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 92512 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (0.54 + 1.37 + 0.04) × $33.4009 ≈ $65.13. The same code in a facility setting pays about $23.38 because facility PE RVU (0.12) replaces office PE RVU.
