How this amount is computed
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 | 0.48 | 1.000 | 0.480 |
| Practice expense (non-facility) | 1.02 | 1.000 | 1.020 |
| Malpractice | 0.06 | 1.000 | 0.060 |
