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 67031 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (4.36 + 6.96 + 0.35) × $33.4009 ≈ $389.79. The same code in a facility setting pays about $305.62 because facility PE RVU (4.44) replaces office PE RVU.
