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 25575 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (11.98 + 10.86 + 2.48) × $33.4009 ≈ $845.71. The same code in a facility setting pays about $845.71 because facility PE RVU (10.86) replaces office PE RVU.
