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 26370 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (7.1 + 14.31 + 1.34) × $33.4009 ≈ $759.87. The same code in a facility setting pays about $759.87 because facility PE RVU (14.31) replaces office PE RVU.
