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 27253 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (13.24 + 9.97 + 2.83) × $33.4009 ≈ $869.76. The same code in a facility setting pays about $869.76 because facility PE RVU (9.97) replaces office PE RVU.
