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 63286 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (36.68 + 22.61 + 15.39) × $33.4009 ≈ $2,494.38. The same code in a facility setting pays about $2,494.38 because facility PE RVU (22.61) replaces office PE RVU.
