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 23665 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (4.54 + 9.38 + 1) × $33.4009 ≈ $498.34. The same code in a facility setting pays about $416.51 because facility PE RVU (6.93) replaces office PE RVU.
