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 64893 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (16.45 + 10.48 + 3.5) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,016.39. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,016.39 because facility PE RVU (10.48) replaces office PE RVU.
