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 70110 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (0.24 + 1.03 + 0.02) × $33.4009 ≈ $43.09. The same code in a facility setting pays about $43.09 because facility PE RVU (1.03) replaces office PE RVU.
