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 69705 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (2.93 + 73.58 + 0.43) × $33.4009 ≈ $2,569.87. The same code in a facility setting pays about $148.3 because facility PE RVU (1.08) replaces office PE RVU.
