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 15770 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (8.74 + 8 + 1.41) × $33.4009 ≈ $606.23. The same code in a facility setting pays about $606.23 because facility PE RVU (8) replaces office PE RVU.
