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 10035 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (1.66 + 8.51 + 0.17) × $33.4009 ≈ $345.37. The same code in a facility setting pays about $71.14 because facility PE RVU (0.3) replaces office PE RVU.
