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 33647 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (32.18 + 10.46 + 8.11) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,695.1. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,695.1 because facility PE RVU (10.46) replaces office PE RVU.
