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 33883 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (19.41 + 4.6 + 4.78) × $33.4009 ≈ $961.61. The same code in a facility setting pays about $961.61 because facility PE RVU (4.6) replaces office PE RVU.
