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 24136 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (8.19 + 8.05 + 1.74) × $33.4009 ≈ $600.55. The same code in a facility setting pays about $600.55 because facility PE RVU (8.05) replaces office PE RVU.
