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 34710 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (14.63 + 3.35 + 3.65) × $33.4009 ≈ $722.46. The same code in a facility setting pays about $722.46 because facility PE RVU (3.35) replaces office PE RVU.
