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 34705 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (28.84 + 5.1 + 7.22) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,374.78. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,374.78 because facility PE RVU (5.1) replaces office PE RVU.
