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 35626 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (28.41 + 8.89 + 7.05) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,481.33. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,481.33 because facility PE RVU (8.89) replaces office PE RVU.
