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 21267 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (20.17 + 19.99 + 3.75) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,466.63. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,466.63 because facility PE RVU (19.99) replaces office PE RVU.
