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 64716 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (6.82 + 6.1 + 1.15) × $33.4009 ≈ $469.95. The same code in a facility setting pays about $469.95 because facility PE RVU (6.1) replaces office PE RVU.
