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 65785 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (5.26 + 57.15 + 0.42) × $33.4009 ≈ $2,098.58. The same code in a facility setting pays about $386.11 because facility PE RVU (5.88) replaces office PE RVU.
