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 35306 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (9.02 + 0.72 + 2.31) × $33.4009 ≈ $402.48. The same code in a facility setting pays about $402.48 because facility PE RVU (0.72) replaces office PE RVU.
