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 61702 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (58.54 + 31.06 + 24.72) × $33.4009 ≈ $3,818.39. The same code in a facility setting pays about $3,818.39 because facility PE RVU (31.06) replaces office PE RVU.
