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 63087 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (36.59 + 19.06 + 12.14) × $33.4009 ≈ $2,264.25. The same code in a facility setting pays about $2,264.25 because facility PE RVU (19.06) replaces office PE RVU.
