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 28400 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (2.25 + 5.5 + 0.37) × $33.4009 ≈ $271.22. The same code in a facility setting pays about $234.14 because facility PE RVU (4.39) replaces office PE RVU.
