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 63275 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (25.21 + 16.86 + 9.78) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,731.84. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,731.84 because facility PE RVU (16.86) replaces office PE RVU.
