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 50727 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (8.07 + 5 + 1.11) × $33.4009 ≈ $473.62. The same code in a facility setting pays about $473.62 because facility PE RVU (5) replaces office PE RVU.
