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 27000 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (5.6 + 4.67 + 0.58) × $33.4009 ≈ $362.4. The same code in a facility setting pays about $362.4 because facility PE RVU (4.67) replaces office PE RVU.
