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 33900 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (10.75 + 2 + 2.57) × $33.4009 ≈ $511.7. The same code in a facility setting pays about $511.7 because facility PE RVU (2) replaces office PE RVU.
