Optional: compare allocation, not just the allowed amount.

Patient responsibility

How Localis calculated $428.20

CMS 2026 C PFS · component math available

allowed = (work RVU × work GPCI + PE RVU × PE GPCI + MP RVU × MP GPCI) × conversion factor, using the non-facility practice-expense column.

Component	RVU	GPCI	Subtotal
Work	4.97	1.000	4.970
Practice expense (non-facility)	7.12	1.000	7.120
Malpractice	0.73	1.000	0.730
× conversion factor $33.4009 = allowed			$428.20
