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 47562 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (10.21 + 6.04 + 2.67) × $33.4009 ≈ $631.95. The same code in a facility setting pays about $631.95 because facility PE RVU (6.04) replaces office PE RVU.
