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 93453 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (5.84 + 26.37 + 1.17) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,114.92. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,114.92 because facility PE RVU (26.37) replaces office PE RVU.
