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 35400 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (2.93 + 0.24 + 0.75) × $33.4009 ≈ $130.93. The same code in a facility setting pays about $130.93 because facility PE RVU (0.24) replaces office PE RVU.
