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 33726 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (36.19 + 11.27 + 9.14) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,890.49. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,890.49 because facility PE RVU (11.27) replaces office PE RVU.
