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 27060 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (5.72 + 6.55 + 1.22) × $33.4009 ≈ $450.58. The same code in a facility setting pays about $450.58 because facility PE RVU (6.55) replaces office PE RVU.
