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 22510 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (7.7 + 43.93 + 1.16) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,763.23. The same code in a facility setting pays about $383.11 because facility PE RVU (2.61) replaces office PE RVU.
