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 33901 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (14.14 + 2.63 + 3.38) × $33.4009 ≈ $673.03. The same code in a facility setting pays about $673.03 because facility PE RVU (2.63) replaces office PE RVU.
