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 25931 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (7.84 + 13.91 + 1.67) × $33.4009 ≈ $782.25. The same code in a facility setting pays about $782.25 because facility PE RVU (13.91) replaces office PE RVU.
