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 33514 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (46.88 + 15.27 + 11.27) × $33.4009 ≈ $2,452.29. The same code in a facility setting pays about $2,452.29 because facility PE RVU (15.27) replaces office PE RVU.
