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 27111 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (12.29 + 10.27 + 2.61) × $33.4009 ≈ $840.7. The same code in a facility setting pays about $840.7 because facility PE RVU (10.27) replaces office PE RVU.
