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 33814 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (25.91 + 10.96 + 6.53) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,449.6. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,449.6 because facility PE RVU (10.96) replaces office PE RVU.
