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 77615 in a non-facility setting with national GPCI: (1.79 + 29.8 + 0.21) × $33.4009 ≈ $1,062.15. The same code in a facility setting pays about $1,062.15 because facility PE RVU (29.8) replaces office PE RVU.
