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 33886 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (19.41 + 4.51 + 4.84) × $33.4009 ≈ $960.61. The same code in a facility setting pays about $960.61 because facility PE RVU (4.51) replaces office PE RVU.
