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 24530 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (3.6 + 8.65 + 0.75) × $33.4009 ≈ $434.21. The same code in a facility setting pays about $359.39 because facility PE RVU (6.41) replaces office PE RVU.
