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 24200 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (1.76 + 5.16 + 0.36) × $33.4009 ≈ $243.16. The same code in a facility setting pays about $143.29 because facility PE RVU (2.17) replaces office PE RVU.
