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 24655 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (4.5 + 10.42 + 1.03) × $33.4009 ≈ $532.74. The same code in a facility setting pays about $441.89 because facility PE RVU (7.7) replaces office PE RVU.
