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 93456 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (5.75 + 25.83 + 1.16) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,093.55. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,093.55 because facility PE RVU (25.83) replaces office PE RVU.
