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 64766 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (9.23 + 6.81 + 2.48) × $33.4009 ≈ $618.58. The same code in a facility setting pays about $618.58 because facility PE RVU (6.81) replaces office PE RVU.
