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 43334 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (21.57 + 7.91 + 5.45) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,166.69. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,166.69 because facility PE RVU (7.91) replaces office PE RVU.
