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 97032 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (0.25 + 0.18 + 0.01) × $33.4009 ≈ $14.7. The same code in a facility setting pays about $14.7 because facility PE RVU (0.18) replaces office PE RVU.
