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 G0181 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (1.73 + 1.44 + 0.12) × $33.4009 ≈ $109.89. The same code in a facility setting pays about $109.89 because facility PE RVU (1.44) replaces office PE RVU.
