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 21206 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (15.2 + 9.19 + 1.76) × $33.4009 ≈ $873.43. The same code in a facility setting pays about $873.43 because facility PE RVU (9.19) replaces office PE RVU.
