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 26746 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (9.56 + 9.23 + 1.82) × $33.4009 ≈ $688.39. The same code in a facility setting pays about $688.39 because facility PE RVU (9.23) replaces office PE RVU.
