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 20975 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (2.54 + 1.76 + 0.75) × $33.4009 ≈ $168.67. The same code in a facility setting pays about $168.67 because facility PE RVU (1.76) replaces office PE RVU.
