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 73702 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (1.19 + 4.55 + 0.09) × $33.4009 ≈ $194.73. The same code in a facility setting pays about $194.73 because facility PE RVU (4.55) replaces office PE RVU.
