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 99344 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (2.87 + 1.36 + 0.16) × $33.4009 ≈ $146.63. The same code in a facility setting pays about $146.63 because facility PE RVU (1.36) replaces office PE RVU.
