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 64834 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (10.54 + 7.45 + 1.79) × $33.4009 ≈ $660.67. The same code in a facility setting pays about $660.67 because facility PE RVU (7.45) replaces office PE RVU.
