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 47544 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (3.2 + 20.16 + 0.37) × $33.4009 ≈ $792.6. The same code in a facility setting pays about $134.61 because facility PE RVU (0.46) replaces office PE RVU.
