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 22847 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (13.44 + 4.28 + 2.86) × $33.4009 ≈ $687.39. The same code in a facility setting pays about $687.39 because facility PE RVU (4.28) replaces office PE RVU.
