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 61626 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (14.93 + 272.48 + 4.05) × $33.4009 ≈ $9,735.03. The same code in a facility setting pays about $754.19 because facility PE RVU (3.6) replaces office PE RVU.
