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 31400 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (11.31 + 15 + 1.65) × $33.4009 ≈ $933.89. The same code in a facility setting pays about $933.89 because facility PE RVU (15) replaces office PE RVU.
