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 73206 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (1.76 + 6.95 + 0.14) × $33.4009 ≈ $295.6. The same code in a facility setting pays about $295.6 because facility PE RVU (6.95) replaces office PE RVU.
