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 28435 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (3.45 + 8.21 + 0.73) × $33.4009 ≈ $413.84. The same code in a facility setting pays about $329 because facility PE RVU (5.67) replaces office PE RVU.
