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 74400 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (0.48 + 3.42 + 0.05) × $33.4009 ≈ $131.93. The same code in a facility setting pays about $131.93 because facility PE RVU (3.42) replaces office PE RVU.
