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 67445 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (18.64 + 19.05 + 1.58) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,311.65. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,311.65 because facility PE RVU (19.05) replaces office PE RVU.
