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 92617 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (0.77 + 0.37 + 0.05) × $33.4009 ≈ $39.75. The same code in a facility setting pays about $33.73 because facility PE RVU (0.19) replaces office PE RVU.
