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 27265 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (5.11 + 8.43 + 1.23) × $33.4009 ≈ $493.33. The same code in a facility setting pays about $493.33 because facility PE RVU (8.43) replaces office PE RVU.
