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 11011 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (4.82 + 10.33 + 0.95) × $33.4009 ≈ $537.75. The same code in a facility setting pays about $264.87 because facility PE RVU (2.16) replaces office PE RVU.
