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 93976 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (0.78 + 3.82 + 0.07) × $33.4009 ≈ $155.98. The same code in a facility setting pays about $155.98 because facility PE RVU (3.82) replaces office PE RVU.
