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 25447 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (10.24 + 10.07 + 1.96) × $33.4009 ≈ $743.84. The same code in a facility setting pays about $743.84 because facility PE RVU (10.07) replaces office PE RVU.
