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 69660 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (11.73 + 11.07 + 1.72) × $33.4009 ≈ $818.99. The same code in a facility setting pays about $818.99 because facility PE RVU (11.07) replaces office PE RVU.
