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 24000 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (5.93 + 6.66 + 1.22) × $33.4009 ≈ $461.27. The same code in a facility setting pays about $461.27 because facility PE RVU (6.66) replaces office PE RVU.
