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 67715 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (1.24 + 6.8 + 0.18) × $33.4009 ≈ $274.56. The same code in a facility setting pays about $102.21 because facility PE RVU (1.64) replaces office PE RVU.
