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 92621 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (0.35 + 0.28 + 0) × $33.4009 ≈ $21.04. The same code in a facility setting pays about $15.03 because facility PE RVU (0.1) replaces office PE RVU.
