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 64837 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (6.09 + 1.94 + 1.3) × $33.4009 ≈ $311.63. The same code in a facility setting pays about $311.63 because facility PE RVU (1.94) replaces office PE RVU.
