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 65105 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (9.68 + 14.91 + 0.79) × $33.4009 ≈ $847.71. The same code in a facility setting pays about $847.71 because facility PE RVU (14.91) replaces office PE RVU.
