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 93459 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (6.19 + 25.08 + 1.29) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,087.53. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,087.53 because facility PE RVU (25.08) replaces office PE RVU.
