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 69650 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (9.56 + 10.53 + 1.39) × $33.4009 ≈ $717.45. The same code in a facility setting pays about $717.45 because facility PE RVU (10.53) replaces office PE RVU.
