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 24076 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (7.22 + 6.82 + 1.56) × $33.4009 ≈ $521.05. The same code in a facility setting pays about $521.05 because facility PE RVU (6.82) replaces office PE RVU.
