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 34832 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (37.03 + 5.01 + 9.47) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,720.48. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,720.48 because facility PE RVU (5.01) replaces office PE RVU.
