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 69300 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (6.44 + 12.18 + 0.93) × $33.4009 ≈ $652.99. The same code in a facility setting pays about $427.2 because facility PE RVU (5.42) replaces office PE RVU.
