2026 GPCIs for Redding
| Component | GPCI | vs national 1.000 |
|---|---|---|
| Work (physician time and effort) | 1.017 | +1.7% |
| Practice expense (staff, rent, equipment, supplies) | 1.096 | +9.6% |
| Malpractice (professional liability insurance) | 0.536 | -46.4% |
| Geographic adjustment factor (weighted) | 1.032 | +3.2% |
A fee schedule amount here is [(work RVU x 1.017) + (practice expense RVU x 1.096) + (malpractice RVU x 0.536)] x the conversion factor. The practice expense index weighs most on office services, whose non-facility practice expense RVU carries the practice's overhead, while the work index weighs most on surgery and other physician-intensive services. The work index is above the 1.0 floor, so the floor does not affect this locality.
