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 34718 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (23.4 + 4.02 + 5.89) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,112.58. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,112.58 because facility PE RVU (4.02) replaces office PE RVU.
