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 24535 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (6.93 + 12.26 + 1.47) × $33.4009 ≈ $690.06. The same code in a facility setting pays about $564.81 because facility PE RVU (8.51) replaces office PE RVU.
