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 76700 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (0.79 + 2.57 + 0.06) × $33.4009 ≈ $114.23. The same code in a facility setting pays about $114.23 because facility PE RVU (2.57) replaces office PE RVU.
