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 95718 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (2.44 + 1.49 + 0.2) × $33.4009 ≈ $137.95. The same code in a facility setting pays about $111.56 because facility PE RVU (0.7) replaces office PE RVU.
