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 67010 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (6.88 + 6.6 + 0.54) × $33.4009 ≈ $468.28. The same code in a facility setting pays about $468.28 because facility PE RVU (6.6) replaces office PE RVU.
