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 23410 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (11.11 + 9.49 + 2.3) × $33.4009 ≈ $764.88. The same code in a facility setting pays about $764.88 because facility PE RVU (9.49) replaces office PE RVU.
