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 93303 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (1.27 + 5.26 + 0.07) × $33.4009 ≈ $220.45. The same code in a facility setting pays about $220.45 because facility PE RVU (5.26) replaces office PE RVU.
