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 27227 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (24.77 + 14.56 + 5.26) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,489.35. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,489.35 because facility PE RVU (14.56) replaces office PE RVU.
