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 24134 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (9.96 + 8.97 + 2.12) × $33.4009 ≈ $703.09. The same code in a facility setting pays about $703.09 because facility PE RVU (8.97) replaces office PE RVU.
