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 47015 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (18.04 + 10.2 + 4.82) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,104.23. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,104.23 because facility PE RVU (10.2) replaces office PE RVU.
