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 24147 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (7.64 + 8.69 + 1.53) × $33.4009 ≈ $596.54. The same code in a facility setting pays about $596.54 because facility PE RVU (8.69) replaces office PE RVU.
