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 47147 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (6.83 + 1.67 + 1.79) × $33.4009 ≈ $343.7. The same code in a facility setting pays about $343.7 because facility PE RVU (1.67) replaces office PE RVU.
