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 G9982 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (3.17 + 3.23 + 0.36) × $33.4009 ≈ $225.79. The same code in a facility setting pays about $149.3 because facility PE RVU (0.94) replaces office PE RVU.
