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 24587 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (15.4 + 11.25 + 3.27) × $33.4009 ≈ $999.35. The same code in a facility setting pays about $999.35 because facility PE RVU (11.25) replaces office PE RVU.
