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 93461 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (7.65 + 30.58 + 1.56) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,329.02. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,329.02 because facility PE RVU (30.58) replaces office PE RVU.
