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 93585 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (1.1 + 0.21 + 0.07) × $33.4009 ≈ $46.09. The same code in a facility setting pays about $46.09 because facility PE RVU (0.21) replaces office PE RVU.
