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 31614 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (8.41 + 9.59 + 1.23) × $33.4009 ≈ $642.3. The same code in a facility setting pays about $642.3 because facility PE RVU (9.59) replaces office PE RVU.
