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 64896 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (21.41 + 12.54 + 4.56) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,286.27. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,286.27 because facility PE RVU (12.54) replaces office PE RVU.
