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 61611 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (7.22 + 2.53 + 3.04) × $33.4009 ≈ $427.2. The same code in a facility setting pays about $427.2 because facility PE RVU (2.53) replaces office PE RVU.
