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 27732 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (5.32 + 6.77 + 1.14) × $33.4009 ≈ $441.89. The same code in a facility setting pays about $441.89 because facility PE RVU (6.77) replaces office PE RVU.
