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 47010 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (18.92 + 10.44 + 4.86) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,142.98. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,142.98 because facility PE RVU (10.44) replaces office PE RVU.
