Why is the 50590 rate in Sacramento, CA different from the national amount?

The national figure is a GPCI 1.000 baseline, not an amount any provider is paid. This locality's geographic practice cost indices—work 1.036, practice expense 1.163, malpractice 0.536—scale each RVU component before the conversion factor is applied, which is why the Sacramento, CA amount is higher than the $760.20 baseline.
