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 35302 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (20.82 + 4.19 + 5.3) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,012.38. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,012.38 because facility PE RVU (4.19) replaces office PE RVU.
