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 15730 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (13.16 + 28.48 + 1.49) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,440.58. The same code in a facility setting pays about $782.25 because facility PE RVU (8.77) replaces office PE RVU.
