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 61867 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (32.2 + 20.26 + 13.6) × $33.4009 ≈ $2,206.46. The same code in a facility setting pays about $2,206.46 because facility PE RVU (20.26) replaces office PE RVU.
