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 99483 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (3.84 + 4.66 + 0.27) × $33.4009 ≈ $292.93. The same code in a facility setting pays about $169.68 because facility PE RVU (0.97) replaces office PE RVU.
