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 52214 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (3.41 + 17.94 + 0.43) × $33.4009 ≈ $727.47. The same code in a facility setting pays about $151.97 because facility PE RVU (0.71) replaces office PE RVU.
