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 27140 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (12.46 + 9.75 + 2.65) × $33.4009 ≈ $830.35. The same code in a facility setting pays about $830.35 because facility PE RVU (9.75) replaces office PE RVU.
