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 64734 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (5.41 + 8.99 + 2.28) × $33.4009 ≈ $557.13. The same code in a facility setting pays about $557.13 because facility PE RVU (8.99) replaces office PE RVU.
