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 69730 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (9.99 + 6.47 + 1.45) × $33.4009 ≈ $598.21. The same code in a facility setting pays about $598.21 because facility PE RVU (6.47) replaces office PE RVU.
