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 23075 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (4.1 + 11.59 + 0.92) × $33.4009 ≈ $554.79. The same code in a facility setting pays about $321.32 because facility PE RVU (4.6) replaces office PE RVU.
