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 23125 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (9.4 + 8.63 + 2) × $33.4009 ≈ $669.02. The same code in a facility setting pays about $669.02 because facility PE RVU (8.63) replaces office PE RVU.
