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 93016 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (0.44 + 0.17 + 0.01) × $33.4009 ≈ $20.71. The same code in a facility setting pays about $20.71 because facility PE RVU (0.17) replaces office PE RVU.
