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 24650 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (2.25 + 6.33 + 0.45) × $33.4009 ≈ $301.61. The same code in a facility setting pays about $258.52 because facility PE RVU (5.04) replaces office PE RVU.
